Bachelor in Bioscience Engineering: Joint section
The Bachelor of Bioscience Engineering aspires to educate a polyvalent academic bachelor who is able to function within society and who has in-depth scientific background knowledge and skills concerning the living matter and engineering techniques that enables him/her to orient towards a master programme offered by the Faculty of Bioscience Engineering or (to a lesser extent) a professional environment.
The bachelor programme focuses on a broad general scientific education, that brings the students to a high level of knowledge and competences concerning the living matter and that sets the basis for a fundamental understanding of the living matter and related processes. The students are made familiar with the scientific way of thinking in different disciplines in the field of Applied Biological Sciences. In addition learning attitudes and learning skills are taught, enabling them to fully participate in a rapidly evolving society in which knowledge can be questioned, therefore an attitude of lifelong learning is required.
The department provides the following courses in the joint section of the bachelor programme:
- Botany 1: Morphology, Anatomy and Diversity [Pieter De Frenne]
- Earth Sciences [Marc Van Meirvenne]
- Physics 4: Physical Transport Phenomena [Niko Verhoest]
Bachelor in Bioscience Engineering: Agricultural Sciences
The department provides the course listed below in this bachelor programme:
- Soil Science [Stefaan De Neve]
Bachelor in Bioscience Engineering: Environmental Technology
The department provides the course listed below in this bachelor programme:
- Soil Science and Soil Physics [Wim Cornelis]
Bachelor in Bioscience Engineering: Land and Forest Management
The link to the Master or (to a lesser extent) a professional environment, is made by five main subjects including Land and Forest Management. The link between education and research is also made clearer through these main subjects. A project work which includes a component specifically designed for each main subject and a overall component, namely methodology is offered to all students.
The department provides several courses in this bachelor programme:
- Basics of Forest and Wood Science [Kris Verheyen, Joris Van Acker]
