About Business and Information Systems Engineering, MSc - at KU Leuven

The Master of Science in Business and Information Systems Engineering programme prepares you in both business management as well as information systems within an international context. In our modern society no organisation can function without information systems.

What is the programme all about?

As a business and information systems engineer, you are able to analyse and optimise various business processes, such as marketing, production and logistics, finance etc. As a multidisciplinary, forward-looking manager, you translate business elements into information systems supporting the decision process. You can consider decisions about information technology against the backdrop of the company as a whole, predict their strategic consequences, and carry out management duties with diligence.

International Experience: In the first semester of the second year we encourage students to study abroad at one of the faculty’s exclusive partner universities, as part of the Erasmus+ programme. Employers value young professionals who are familiar with doing business in a multicultural and multilingual setting.
