61 Master's degrees offered by the university
Physical Land Resources - Land Resources Engineering
The International Master of Science in Physical Land Resources - Land Resources Engineering at Ghent University aims at delivering experts with a broad, advanced up-to-date knowledge in the field of Physical Land Resources and soils in particular, that are capable to integrate this knowledge with the acquired techniques, skills and attitudes, and to apply them in their professional life.
Electrical Engineering - Electronic Circuits and Systems
The Master of Science in Electrical Engineering - Electronic Circuits and Systems at Ghent University offers an in-depth training in the domains of electrical and electronics engineering and students can choose a focus on either Electronic Circuits and Systems (ECS) or Communication and Information Technologies (CIT).
Business Engineering - Operations Management
The Business Engineering - Operations Management MSc programme from Ghent University focuses on (data-driven) management science, business processes and technology.
Chemistry (Materials and Nano Chemistry)
We owe a great part of our quality of life to the development of sciences, chemistry in particular. Its influence can be found in numerous different branches, such as medicine, biology, agriculture, etc. The chemical impact is also omnipresent in the industrial world. You can learn more about this at Ghent University's Chemistry (Materials and Nano Chemistry).
Engineering Physics
Students at the Master of Science in Engineering Physics at Ghent University have a solid physical know how and the necessary skills to play a leading role in groundbreaking physics research.
Pharmaceutical Engineering
The Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Engineering programme from Ghent University integrates in one interdisciplinary English taught program the pharmaceutical and engineering knowledge about the development of innovative and science-based pharmaceutical production technologies, production methods and solutions for small and large drug molecules and products (of the future).
Bioinformatics - Engineering
Ghent University's Bioinformatics - Engineering aims at gaining a better and preferentially more quantitative molecular understanding of cellular processes by integrating and modeling large amounts of molecular data.
Sustainable Land Management (Urban Land Engineering )
Ghent University's Sustainable Land Management (Urban Land Engineering ) is a two year, full time course. Students can choose between two main subjects: Land and Groundwater Management and Urban Land Engineering.

Maritime Science
The Master of Science in Maritime Science is an inter‑university postgraduate programme by Ghent University (UGent) and Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB). Its multidisciplinary curriculum integrates the pillars of today’s global maritime sector, preparing graduates for advanced roles in maritime management, port operations, shipping companies, international trade, and the blue economy.
Sustainable Land Management (Land and Groundwater Management)
The Master of Science degree programme in Sustainable Land Management (Land and Groundwater Management) from Ghent University is a two year, full time course. Students can choose between two main subjects: Land and Groundwater Management and Urban Land Engineering.
Soils and Global Change (Physical Land Resources and Global Change)
Increased population pressure and intensive land use are causing depletion of natural resources and are limiting the performance of land with respect to its functions such as biomass production, carbon sequestration. Ghent University's Soils and Global Change (Physical Land Resources and Global Change) programmes have been developed to protect the environment and to increase ecosystem resilience.
Chemical Engineering
The Master of Science in Chemical Engineering at Ghent University has to ensure the design, construction, improvement and maintenance of installations and equipment in the chemical industry.
Bioinformatics - Systems Biology
The master degree in Bioinformatics - Systems Biology at Ghent University gives you the optimal background to become a bioinformatics engineer.
Chemistry ((Bio)Organic and Polymer Chemistry)
We owe a great part of our quality of life to the development of sciences, chemistry in particular. Its influence can be found in numerous different branches, such as medicine, biology, agriculture, etc. The chemical impact is also omnipresent in the industrial world. You can learn all about this at Ghent University's Chemistry ((Bio)Organic and Polymer Chemistry).
Chemistry (Analytical and Environmental Chemistry)
The chemical impact is also omnipresent in the industrial world. Almost every branch has to do with chemistry at some level: the production process, quality control, improvement. Ghent University's Chemistry (Analytical and Environmental Chemistry) students can choose from three main subjects: Analytical and Environmental Chemistry, (Bio)organic and Polymer Chemistry, Materials and Nano Chemistry.
Soils and Global Change
The Soils and Global Change programme from Ghent University educates this next generation of soil scientists that have the knowledge and skills to characterize soils, understand soil evolution in an ecosystem context under global change based on a deep insight in the underlying processes and interactions, and develop strategies to implement climate-smart soil management policies.
Nuclear Engineering
The BNEN one-year programme in Nuclear Engineering at Ghent University was created in close collaboration with representatives of the utility companies and power plants and teaches students in all aspects of nuclear technology and its applications, creating nuclear engineering experts in the broad sense.
Cell and Gene Biotechnology
Ghent University's Cell and Gene Biotechnology prepares Bioscience engineers in cell and gene biotechnology that are capable of directing biological processes at the DNA, protein, organism or ecosystem level and use their engineering mindset to put that knowledge into practice for industry and society.
Conflict and Development
The Master in Conflict and Development Studies at Ghent University allows you to gain insight into the broader thinking about conflict and development related issues, and how to analyse these in a critical manner. You also learn to analyse policy interventions by governments and (inter)national organisations in this domain.
Biochemistry and Biotechnology
With Biochemistry and Biotechnology programme at Ghent University you will acquire a thorough knowledge of biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, cell biology and physiology but also the ability to use biochemical and biotechnological techniques in a creative and inventive manner on plants, animals or humans.
