The Green Life Sciences (Biological Sciences) programme from the University of Amsterdam is a research-oriented programme that 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.

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.

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 (Biological Sciences) 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.

The two-year selective master of science degree program in Marine Biology at University of Groningen focuses on life in our seas and oceans. 

This pre-Master’s programme from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam introduces you to Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, on the basis of examples from scientific research.

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.

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.

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.

The Biomolecular Sciences - Molecular Bioinformatics programme from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam focuses on the fundamentals of molecular and cellular processes

This specialisation offers you the unique possibility to integrate molecular, cellular and organismal levels of research, but also provides the possibility to specialize in one of these levels.

Are you ready to work at the cutting edge of biology? Get skills in data science and math to study the dynamic interactions within living systems. Learn to understand and predict biological processes. Join Maastricht University's Systems Biology and Bioinformatics master’s.

The Biology and Science Communication and Society master's specialisation focuses on the interaction between science and society. Increasingly, the general public wants to be and needs to be informed about scientific topics. At the same time, scientists need to show accountability to the general public about their research.

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.

This multi-disciplinary programme offers a wealth of opportunities for students interested in fundamental or applied molecular bioscience, organismal and behavioural biology, evolution, biodiversity or conservation, and prepares you for a career in or outside academia.

Would you like a tailor-made programme in Biology offered by the University of Groningen? Specialize in mathematical modelling and computational biology to be applied in various biology research domains?

As a student in the Drug Discovery Sciences - Bioanalytics course at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, you will approach drug research and development from a multidisciplinary perspective.

In this specialisation you will focus on understanding the principles, which determine the characteristics of soft materials like foam, and that of biological processes occurring in cells and tissue. Research within the Physics and Biological and Soft Matter specialisation is typically performed at the interface of medical, biological, chemical and physical sciences.

The MEME - Mobility European Master in Evolution programme from University of Groningen has been designed to provide students with an optimal training for a subsequent PhD project and eventually a career in academic research.

In the master's specialisation Biology and Business Studies, you combine high quality research in Biology with training in management and entrepreneurship. Business Studies bridges science and business by focusing on areas such as technology management, innovation, entrepreneurship, operations and decision making. In this master's specialisation you combine Biology research with Business Studies.

This specialisation offers you the unique possibility to integrate molecular, cellular and organismal levels of research, but also provides the possibility to specialize in one of these levels.
