9 Master's degrees in Genetics in Netherlands

Do you have a clear and specific interest in cancer, stem cells or developmental biology? Join the Cancer, Stem Cells and Developmental Biology programme at Utrecht University and combine research in oncology, molecular developmental biology and genetics.

Are you interested in animal breeding? Do you have a passion for genetics? Do you enjoy working in a truly international environment? Then you are the right candidate for the European Master’s Animal Biodiversity and Genomics (EMABG) programme from Wageningen University and Research!

Would you like to use multi-omics to dissect complex cellular processes? In this specialisation, you will learn to perform systems level investigation of gene regulatory processes that govern cellular identity/function in health and disease.

Do you want to know how the brain works and why dysfunctions can lead to disorders? To use this knowledge to understand and combat neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS, Alzheimer's and mental disorders. Then join the Neurosciences (Research) course from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

This specialisation integrates genetics, molecular biology, and biotechnology into an attractive programme, with excellent career perspectives. Through courses and research projects, students are trained by experts in the areas of molecular biology, microbiology, plant genetics, cellular imaging, animal disease models, and various -omics technologies and the corresponding bioinformatics.

The Health Sciences - Genomic and Molecular Epidemiology programme from Erasmus University Rotterdam focuses on the uses of genetic, molecular and epidemiological research in identifying the possible familial and hereditary factors underlying the origins and manifestations of human disease. 

In the Genes in Behaviour and Health (Research) programme from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, you’ll delve into these questions in depth to understand the causes of individual differences in behaviour and health and learn about the interplay of genes and environment.

The Research Master in Health Sciences - Genomic and Molecular Epidemiology degree offered by Erasmus University Rotterdam focuses on the uses of genetic, molecular and epidemiological research in identifying the possible familial and hereditary factors underlying the origins and manifestations of human disease.

In the master's programme Evolutionary Biology you identify evolutionary changes over time and study the origin and maintenance of biological variation all over the tree of life.
