Diploma requirements

The criteria for previous studies include:
- Candidates must have obtained a BSc diploma (or equivalent) of substantial quality and level corresponding to at least 3 years studies at University, equivalent to 180 ECTS.
- Candidates must hold a degree in Engineering.
- The selection of applicants will be based on the excellence of their studies. To verify this, the candidates must submit a transcript with a Grade Point Average (GPA) for the BSc study of at least 75% of the scale maximum.


Additional requirements

Candidates are requested to
- submit two letters of recommendation
- illustrate their entrepreneurial mindset in their CV or motivation letter.


Additional information

All applications are evaluated by both the KU Leuven Admissions Office and the relevant Master’s programme director. Admission is ultimately at the discretion of the Faculty.

The programme is based on the first part of the Bachelor, which offers general education in the basic sciences (mathematics-physics-chemistry) in combination with a number of well-chosen technical basic courses. Of these courses, the applied physics courses (electricity/magnetism, mechanics, thermodynamics) are seen as an absolute minimum. This is followed by the second part of the bachelor, in which the theoretical basic knowledge of electrical technology and mechanical engineering is offered from the basic scientific and technical knowledge of the first part. The internal foundations of this knowledge are system and control theory, electrical energy (and drives), energy conversion machines and systems, fluid mechanics and heat transfer (or transport phenomena). To gather designing experience, the students have to become acquainted with the different domains in a shared project designing different basic components of an entire system. The different aspects of the basic courses will return here in a practical form.

In individual cases, a selection committee will decide whether there are exceptional circumstances that justify deviation from one or more of the selection criteria listed above. Exceptional circumstances may result in conditional admission in which case final admission and enrolment will take place only after the condition(s) have been fulfilled.

Selection procedure:
KU Leuven, as programme coordinator, receives and classifies the applications, and then submits them to the consideration of the admissions committee (by default the programme committee until the EIT-KIC management decides otherwise). An online intranet page has been developed to facilitate the sharing and analysis of the candidates applications by the members of the committee. The Committee will classify candidates pursuant to the following criteria:
" Academic record (50 %)
" Curriculum vitae (40 %)
" Letters of motivation and recommendation forms (10 %)
Candidate evaluation in accordance with the selection criteria are governed by the General Principles of the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers, i.e., transparency, merits, non-discrimination, recognition of mobility experience, recognition of qualifications, and the pattern of lifelong professional development.
In the initial screening, a video-conference conversation (e.g. by means of a Skype based interview with distant power point presentation) with candidates may be required to verify their motivations and the consistency of their project. The admissions committee will draw up a final list of students admitted after this interview.
After the selection, the consortium will submit the lists of main candidates for awarding any scholarships, according to the calls established each year for Category A and Category B candidates (categories as applicable in EU-supported programs such as Erasmus Mundus).
