Register for KU Leuven's Webinar Days to get a genuine glimpse into studying in Belgium, including student life, KU Leuven's international programmes, study costs and more. With general information webinars on 29 January and programme-specific webinars from 2 to 12 February, these events are the ideal opportunities to ask our dedicated staff, professors and students all the questions you have in mind.

The Master of Biophysics, Biochemistry and Biotechnology provides in-depth training in multidisciplinary fields, with particular emphasis on subfields in which KU Leuven's research expertise is internationally recognised: 

  • the determination of molecular structures
  • molecular and supramolecular modelling
  • the spectroscopy of biomolecules, biofunctional surfaces, and interfaces
  • the nano-biophysics, physical modelling of complex systems, and study of these models
  • transport through ion channels in membranes
  • the study of molecular interactions and physical principles in vitro, in complex biological machineries, and in the living cell

In this two year master programme you select one of two profiles, either Biophysics or Biochemistry and Biotechnology. 

This study programme will prepare and equip you to enter the workplace with all the necessary skills, expertise and experience to solve many of the greatest challenges facing the fields of biophysics, biochemistry and biotechnology.
