Bio Inspired Innovation
The Master’s programme in Bio Inspired Innovation at Utrecht University is aimed at students with a Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences, who have a keen interest in combining design, research and systems-thinking.

Environmental Biology
On the Master's Environmental Biology programme at Utrecht University you will have the chance to study the functioning of plants, animals and micro-organisms in their environment, and how they react to changes in that environment.

Marine Sciences
Marine Sciences programme at Utrecht University will enable you to gain a broad understanding of marine systems, but also specialise in the physical, chemical, biological, and geological processes taking place in the ocean.

Biology
Do you want to understand living systems? Help preserve biodiversity, our environment or human and animal health? Then the master's Biology at Wageningen University and Research is the right fit for you.

Medical Biology
Are you going to bridge the gap between early biomedical research results and clinical practice? Or would you rather study DNA, RNA and/or proteins in the laboratory? In this Medical Biology programme at Radboud University you will work to get a deep understanding of the mechanisms acting in human in health and disease at the molecular, cellular and system levels.

Biosystems Engineering
The Biosystems Engineering programme at the Wageningen University and Research focuses on the development of technology for the production, processing and storage of food and agricultural non-food, management of the rural area, renewable resources and agro-industrial production chains.

Human Biology
Combine fundamental human biology with clinical studies. Bridge the gap between biomedical research results and clinical practice. Get the chance to work together with scientists from highly regarded research groups.

Biology
Would you like to specialise in organismal stress adaptation? Or in ecosystem dynamics, so that you can contribute to species protection and nature recovery? You could also dive into environmental modelling or walk the line between biological and medical (micro)biology. Choose a specialisation to define your field of interest within Biology.

Biobased Sciences
The Biobased Sciences programme at the Wageningen University and Research focuses on the transition from a petrochemical to a biobased and circular economy.

Adaptive Organisms
Become an expert in the molecular, cellular, and physiological processes behind stress adaptation in plants, animals and microorganisms. This research-oriented specialisation offers hands-on experience with cutting-edge techniques to prepare you for a career at the forefront of science and R&D.

Neurobiology
Would you like to understand the brain from a multidisciplinary point of view? In this Neurobiology course at Radboud University, you'll study the brain across spatial scales, from molecule to whole human brains. Learn about the organisation and functioning of the brain.

Biomolecular Sciences
Are you interested in the molecular mechanisms behind major health problems, such as cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s? What about their impact on antibiotics or food production? Yes? Then this Biomolecular Sciences MSc programme offered at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is for you.
Bioinformatics and Systems Biology
This pre-Master’s programme from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam introduces you to Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, on the basis of examples from scientific research.
Chemistry of Life (Chemistry)
The Chemistry - Chemistry of Life program at University of Amsterdam will focus on aspects of chemistry related to living systems, such as the role of enzymes in organic chemistry, biomolecular simulations, and biotechnological approaches in industry.
Marine Biology
The two-year selective master of science degree program in Marine Biology at University of Groningen focuses on life in our seas and oceans.
Nanobiology
The Nanobiology programme of Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) will require not simply collaboration between disciplines, but true disciplinary integration of physics and biology.
Biological Sciences
The Biological Sciences from the University of Amsterdam is a challenging Master's programme with world-renowned research on ecosystems and their organisms.
Bioinformatics and Systems Biology - Systems Biology
The Bioinformatics and Systems Biology - Systems Biology programme at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam teaches you to combine molecular and cell biology, computer science and mathematical modelling to integrate vast amounts of biological data into a fundamental understanding of life at the molecular level.
Evolution of Behaviour and Mind (Biological Sciences)
Are you interested in research on the behaviour of primates and other animals? Or work on the origins of Homo sapiens? With the Evolution of Behaviour and Mind programme from University of Amsterdam, learn more about the origins of behaviour and the mind from the integrative perspective of biology, psychology, anthropology, and other sciences.
Bioinformatics and Systems Biology
Converting this huge volume of data into real understanding is the basic challenge of Bioinformatics research. With the Bioinformatics and Systems Biology MSc programme offered at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam you become an expert in this field.
