Diploma requirements

To qualify for admission to the Master of Biomedical Sciences at the KU Leuven, you must:

- Have a relevant bachelor's degree (for example Biomedical Sciences, Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences, Life Sciences.)

This implies a bachelor's degree obtained at a high level university with sufficient education in the following subjects: Molecular Cellular Biology, Genetics, Immunology, Anatomy, Pathology, Physiology, Microbiology, Neurosciences, Epidemiology and Statistics. Practical training in molecular biological and biochemical techniques is also required.

Insufficient education in a number of the aforementioned subjects may be compensated by sufficient previous education in other subjects relevant for a Biomedical Science education (e.g. Biochemistry, Pharmacology).

Language requirements

All applicants must prove their proficiency in English. The accepted English proficiency tests are:
-  TOEFL IBT: minimum overall score of 100, with minimum subscores of 20
-  IELTS Academic: overall score 7, with minimum subscores of 6.5

Applicants who have obtained a previous diploma in a programme taught in English in Australia, English-speaking Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States of America are exempted from submitting an English proficiency test.

Additional requirements

- For the courses that you deem most relevant to the Master of Biomedical Sciences, a brief course description (one half to a full page) should be added to the application file. The course description should contain a brief description of the course objectives, the main topics treated, the workload per course unit and the course materials used.

- Two recommendation letters.

- Additional information (by mail or phone conference) can be requested by the committee before reaching a decision.
