Master of Science in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (Sustainable Mobility Analytics)
The Sustainable Mobility Analytics programme integrates entrepreneurship and innovation throughout the curriculum and has been launched to train our future innovators and change-makers in urban transport and mobility.
The track is organised in collaboration with the EIT Urban Mobility Master School and is accessible only to students pursuing a double-degree through either the MSc Sustainable Urban Mobility Transitions (SUMT) programme or the MSc Smart Mobility Data Science and Analytics (SMDSA) programme offered by the EIT Urban Mobility Master School.
Students spend each year at a different partner university (Ghent University, TU Eindhoven, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, UPC Barcelona, the University of Tartu, and the University of Lisbon) and graduate with two officially recognised Master of Science degrees from each of the two universities where they carried out their studies. They are also awarded the EIT Label certificate by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology.
EUR-ACE® Master (EURopean ACcredited Engineering Master)
The EUR-ACE label was accredited to this programme by the Commission des titres d’ingénieur (CTI), under the auspices of the European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE).
EUR-ACE® is a framework and accreditation system that provides a set of standards that identifies high-quality engineering degree programmes in Europe and abroad.
Open Days
Each spring there is a Graduation Fair. It consists of a job fair (with more than 200 different companies) and a postgrad/master fair.
For some programmes, there is a specific Open Day. If this is the case, you will find the date here (at the latest Feb 15th).

Additional Information on Admission (Flemish Degree)
The MSc in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, main subject Sustainable Mobility Analytics is accessible only to students pursuing a double-degree through either the MSc Sustainable Urban Mobility Transitions (SUMT) programme or the MSc Smart Mobility Data Science and Analytics (SMDSA) programme offered by the EIT Urban Mobility Master School. Students applying for this double degree programme(students holding a degree of the Flemish Community as well as international degree students) must submit, in parallel, two applications for admission:
- application for admission to the master's programme Master of Science in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, Main Subject: Sustainable Mobility Analytics at Ghent University Online Application Platform.
- application for admission to the MSc Sustainable Urban Mobility Transitions (SUMT) or the MSc Smart Mobility Data Science and Analytics (SMDSA) double degree programme (and possibly also for an EIT scholarship) on the EIT Urban Mobility Master School Office admission portal.
Only students accepted for both applications, will receive a letter of admission for this track.
Please note that, apart from the double degree in itself, different conditions apply as to participation cost, language requirements, study progress monitoring…).

Flexible trajectories
Flexible trajectories refers to alternative ways of following our courses. It might mean that a course can be spread in time as to allow the combination of work and studying, or that students with special needs get the support they need to allow a successful study career.
An international experience
Going abroad with Erasmus is wide-spread and well-known. But getting an international experience is possible in many different ways.
