Citation preview
The Faculty of Engineering Technology encompas-ses all programmes in Engineering Technology and Bioscience Engineering Technology of KU Leuven at 7 campuses throughout Flanders. The study programmes are offered in both English and Dutch.
The strength of the Engineering Technology programmeslies in their unique combination of research-basedcurricula and practice-based courses, in the tightorganisational and functional links with regional andinternational companies and the specifically student-orien-ted educational approach.
The long-standing tradition of intensive research collabo-ration with industry is further strengthened by merging the research groups in 7 technology clusters: Bioengineering Technology, Construction, Computer Science Technology, Electrical Engineering, Materials Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology and Sustainable Chemical Process Technology.
In addition to their research activities, most lecturers have practical experience in the implementation of knowledge and technology in different companies or spin-offs. The link to the professional field in research and scientific service creates a learning and working environment very close to the application of knowledge and new technologies, and functionally linked to industrial practice. That’s how we can provide our future engineers with a strong and specific po-sition in the innovation chain, close to implementation.
“The multi-campus model not only leads to strong local ties and a large network of companies and enterprises, but also to in-depth knowledge and expertise that can be exchanged and developed. This turns the faculty into a dynamic, future-oriented and research-based environment.”

LocationThe Faculty of Engineering Technology offers engineering programmes in Bruges, Ghent, Aalst, Leuven, Sint-Katelijne-Waver, Geel and Diepenbeek. Each campus is characterised by its own specific educational and research specialisation. The English Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes are only offered at Campus Group T Leuven.
International OrientationThe Faculty of Engineering Technology has a long tradition of international collaboration and exchange of both staff and students.
All campuses are active in the field of Erasmus exchanges, international curriculum development projects, cooperation initiatives in developing countries etc.
The Group T campus in Leuven attracts a high number of international students from its four priority regions (China, India, Mekong area, Ethiopia) and has set up intensive collaboration with these countries. Via the Erasmus Mundus Master’s programme the campus in Ghent receives students from a variety of countries worldwide.
The Faculty of Engineering Technology is an active member of SEFI (Société Européenne pour la Formation des Ingénieurs, www.sefi.be), the European Society for Engineering Education.
