Overview

Key features

Our students work on a large range of topics, for example the tracking of Cas proteins to quantify the functioning of CRISPR-Cas in vivo, production of self-healing materials by smart design of polymers, and development of cell specific delivery mechanisms inspired by virus-like particles.

The possibilities of this master’s programme are endless, so which fields are you going to explore?

Why this programme?

Cutting-edge research in topics ranging from bio-nanotechnology to the role of SOSEKI proteins in the cell polarity of plants.

Research is an important part of the programme.

Building bridges between biology, chemistry and physics.

Future career - Molecular Life Sciences

Most of the students at the Molecular Life Sciences programme at Wageningen University and Research find a job in the first few months after graduating. The majority, about 70 percent, starts their career by doing a PhD on subjects such as microbiology, physical chemistry, cell biology, organic chemistry, biotechnology, etc. Other jobs could be researcher in the industry, consultant, entrepreneur or teacher. The broad programme prepares students for many career paths, partially in the form of dedicated courses.
