111 Master's degrees offered by the university

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.

Are you interested in climate proofing cities or in making cities climate-neutral? This Master's specialisation prepares students for working on the nexus between urban planning, water and environmental management.

From individual molecules to complex solids: in this specialisation, you'll explore matter at the deepest quantum level. You'll investigate fundamental phenomena that form the blueprint for tomorrow's technology. Whether you choose theory, experiment, or the combination of both: here you'll lay the foundation for the next generation of physics.

The Artificial Intelligence Master's programme at Radboud University is highly interdisciplinary and has a strong cognitive and human-centered focus. We use computational modelling as the central methodology to understand naturally intelligent systems, build artificially intelligent systems and improve the interactions between humans and AI. 

Are you interested in both technology and language? Would you like to contribute to future-proof language systems? In the Language and Communication Technologies Master’s programme at Radboud University, you will focus on improving the linguistic and communicative properties of automatic language systems.

In a world where new economic powers are reshaping global hierarchies, geopolitical tensions intensify by the day. Master the analytical tools to decode how shifting economic power balances influence everything, from global supply chains to trade wars, from climate diplomacy to green investments. Understand what happens in the global economy beyond the surface and understand why and who benefits.

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.

The Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science programme at Radboud University is all about understanding the fundamental mathematical concepts of computation and information, to explore the potentials of computer science. 

This two-year Research Master’s programme is designed for international and Dutch students who wish to acquire the skills needed for a career in academic philosophy or in research. The programme has four specialisations, reflecting the expertise of researchers at the faculty.

In this Master's programme we rethink the principles of current economic systems and analyse how to enhance the environmental responsibility of businesses. We aim to develop new business models that contribute to a sustainable future. What does a sustainable and just economy look like, and how can we enable such a new system?

In this specialisation we explore the key challenges produced by contemporary capitalism: stagnant economic growth; rising debt; geographical inequalities; housing, labour, and resource scarcity; and climate crisis. We ask whether these challenges are endemic to capitalism? How do they unevenly impact different peoples and places? And how can we best tackle them and build more just economies?

The Master's specialisation in Language and communication aims to understand the complexity of human language faculty and its development at the behavioural, cognitive, and neural levels in healthy individuals as well as in populations with dysfunction in linguistic and communication skills.

In this specialisation you investigate the human mind and its manifold complexities and products, from a philosophical perspective. You study cultural diversity, mental health and neurodiversity, language and communication, AI and science.

Do you aim to bring out the best in people? Do you want to motivate them to work with pleasure and in good health? If these questions spark your interest, then this Psychology Master’s specialisation is the right choice for you!

The Master's specialisation in Natural computing & neurotechnology integrates theoretical, computational, experimental, and technological research at the Donders Institute and has as its scientific mission to uncover fundamental mechanisms of brain function. This common mission is realized via two distinct complementary research lines.

The Historical Studies specialisation is dedicated to rigorous historical research in order to obtain a deep understanding of developments of the past and to help us evaluate the merits of modern reinterpretations.

Mathematics opens the door to a wide range of career paths. This Master's allows you to build your own tailor-made programme and to specialise in a broad range of fields, within pure mathematics, applied mathematics and mathematical physics.

The interplay between AI and Cyber Security provides solutions to many real-world problems, but also brings new challenges. In this unique Cyber Security and AI programme offered at Radboud University, you will learn to understand the latest approaches of the interaction between both domains. 

Our brain has an information processing capacity that far exceeds modern supercomputers In this Neurophysics specialisation at Radboud University, we aim at unravelling the neuro-computational mechanisms of this fascinating system using experimental approaches and advanced theory.

In the Master's specialisation Literary Studies you will learn to develop new insights that will contribute to a better understanding of literary texts and how they function within society.
