If professors prefer not to send the recommendation letters directly to you, they can always email their recommendations to macs@etrovub.be. After receiving them, the administration will upload them into your application file.

The recommendation letters can be issued also by your employers or project managers with whom you have worked not only by the academics.

We don’t require this as a step of the admission process. Financial proof needs to be submitted as part of the visa application process (preferably the latest three months before the enrolment deadline, which is 30 September.)

The program is organised to accommodate your scientific background and future-oriented academic interests – developing the necessary Computer Science and Data Science skills by complementing your primary field of expertise. Above all that, we offer a wide variety of highly specialised elective courses;

The Master of Applied Computer Science provides a broad education in data science and engineering with focus on generic smart systems design, complemented with elective minors in digital health, smart cities, environmental informatics, and business intelligence. The accumulated knowledge will give rise to an ICT engineer, capable to design systems of systems and apply analytics on the heterogeneous data obtained by such systems.

The Master in Applied Computer Science at VUB accepts students with a bachelor or Master in Engineering or Exact Sciences

The programme starts every year in September (typically, the lectures start in the 4th week of September).

The Biomedical Engineering Master @ VUB accepts students with a bachelor or a Master in Engineering.
In case you do not have a full background in biomedical engineering, we consider you will need to perform a preparatory program consisting in several courses defined in a personalised study program for you.

It is possible to perform the preparatory program in parallel with the master program and does not add study duration to the 2-year master program if you choose to do so.

Since you are required to follow preparatory courses, you will need to make two applications:

– One for the preparatory program (VRB Biomedical Engineering – 00404)
– One for the master program (MA Biomedical Engineering – 00399)
