The Master in Molecular and Cellular Life Sciences at Utrecht University is research oriented and takes a multidisciplinary approach to study molecules related to health and disease in cells and organisms.

By combining chemistry, physics, and biology, groundbreaking fundamental research is performed in the life sciences. With this mindset, the Molecular Life Sciences programme at Wageningen University and Research focuses on processes from the atomic up to the cellular scale. 

The Molecular Sciences (Chemistry) programme of the University of Amsterdam, a joint degree programme with the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, covers areas in chemistry that traditionally are associated with organic and inorganic chemistry, catalysis, physical chemistry and theoretical chemistry.

Molecular Chemistry is a creative science, which involves the synthesis of molecules with new biological or physical properties in order to meet scientific or societal challenges. The possibilities are endless!

In this specialisation, you will focus on complex molecular systems in a biological context. You will learn how cells work from a chemist’s perspective and become an expert in the chemistry of all biologically relevant molecules.

You will learn all aspects of the functioning and synthesis of molecules. Choose a specialisation in chemistry, molecular life sciences, and biology. Deepen your knowledge in solid-state chemistry, spectroscopy, organic or physical chemistry, or molecular biology. Combine theoretical courses with extensive research internships in a multidisciplinary and international learning environment.

With the Molecular Medicine master programme from Erasmus University Rotterdam, bring yourself to the forefront of developments in biomedical science. Work with acclaimed research groups, do extensive research, and write up a thesis.

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 Molecular Life Sciences program at HAN University of Applied Sciences gives you the latest scientific insights and much more. Real projects. Professional skills. Workplace learning. No wonder it has been rated a top program for 7 years running.

Biomolecular sciences is a very internationally oriented research and business area that profits from a strong multidisciplinary expertise on genetics, microbiology, molecular (cell) biology, structural biology, biochemistry, and systems biology. The Biomolecular Sciences programme is offered by the University of Groningen. 

In the master's specialisation Life Science and Business Studies, you combine high quality research in life sciences 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.

The Life Science 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.

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.

In this specialisation you will learn to find solutions for complex societal problems as encountered in personalized medicine, chemical biology and sustainable use of biological sources. In recent decades, life science research has enabled enormous breakthroughs in our understanding of fundamental molecular and cellular processes and mechanisms of life.

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.

Enthusiastic about science and sustainability? At Biobased Materials at Maastricht University you explore how biology, chemistry and materials engineering come together to create renewable materials that support the transition towards a climate-neutral society.
