46 Master's degrees in Biology in Netherlands

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Biological Sciences
The Biological Sciences programme of the University of Amsterdam is a challenging Master's programme with world-renowned research on plant and animal species and the ecosystems to which they belong.

Bioinformatics and Systems Biology
Discover which biomolecules make the difference between health and disease. Are you interested in unravelling this by using machine learning, sequence analysis, computational models and/or systematic experiments? This interdisciplinary Bioinformatics and Systems Biology programme combines biology, data science and systems thinking, preparing you to make a real impact in life sciences research.

Green Life Sciences (Biological Sciences)
The Biological Sciences - Green Life Sciences programme from University of Amsterdam focuses on the interaction of plants with their abiotic and biotic environment. You will study fundamental and applied aspects of molecular biology, cell biology, chemical ecology, physiology, biotechnology, plant breeding, phytopathology and the plant microbiome.

Ecology and Evolution (Biological Sciences)
The aim of the Biological Sciences - Ecology and Evolution programme of the University of Amsterdam is to promote understanding of the relationships between living organisms, the evolution of species and the function of ecosystems, in order to contribute to more sustainability on earth.

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.

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.

Freshwater and Marine Biology (Biological Sciences)
Aquatic ecosystems teem with organisms, ranging from tiny phytoplankton and zooplankton to fish and whales. Unfortunately, aquatic ecosystems are also used as ‘dumping grounds' for much of society's waste and are affected by global change. In the Biological Sciences - Freshwater and Marine Biology programme of the University of Amsterdam these topics are investigated from different perspectives.

General Biology (Biological Sciences)
The Biological Sciences - General Biology programme of the University of Amsterdam is designed for students who do not wish to restrict their focus to one subject in the field of biology. Your study may cover topics such as the molecular mechanisms of a virus or the population dynamics of African elephants.
