Astronomy and Astrophysics (Physics and Astronomy)
The two-year Physics and Astronomy - Astronomy and Astrophysics programme of the University of Amsterdam, a joint degree with the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, provides you with thorough training in both the observational and theoretical aspects of modern astronomy and astrophysics.

Chemistry
The Chemistry programme of the University of Amsterdam is a joint degree with Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and provides you with a highly qualified background of theory and practice in chemistry and sufficient specialisation in a specific field.

Molecular Sciences (Chemistry)
The Chemistry - Molecular Sciences 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.

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.

Biophysics and Biophotonics (Physics and Astronomy)
In the two-year track Physics and Astronomy - Biophysics and Biophotonics from the University of Amsterdam, you will use the language of physics to explore the secrets of life processes. This Master's track was formerly known as Physics of Life and Health.

Mathematics
In this two-year, research-based Mathematics programme at the University of Amsterdam you deepen your mathematical knowledge by specialising in a mathematical area of your interest. You may also study related disciplines such as Physics, Logic, Econometrics and Computational Science from a mathematical perspective.

Gravitation, Astro-, and Particle Physics (Physics and Astronomy)
The two-year Physics and Astronomy - Gravitation, Astro-, and Particle Physics programme of the University of Amsterdam, a joint degree with the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, stands at at the intersection of theoretical physics, experimental (astro)particle physics and astrophysics.

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.

Science for Energy and Sustainability (Chemistry)
The Chemistry - Science for Energy and Sustainability programme of the University of Amsterdam is an two-year interdisciplinary track within the Master's programmes Chemistry and Physics and Astronomy. It combines ‘hard’ scientific research with the analysis of societal issues, business models and government regulations.
