Overview

Key facts

The curriculum of the Biomedical Sciences degree offered by the University of Bergen deals with questions like:

What are the cellular mechanisms/pathways of diseases and disorders?
How is the genotype in different diseases?
How do genes and the environment interact?
How can we improve/enhance therapeutic efficacy?
How does the brain work?

Biomedical research has a central role in shaping tomorrow's medicine, through the development of new drugs and understanding disease mechanisms.

The impact of new discoveries in biomedicine is significant: we develop technology that can lower the production costs of medicine, we analyse cancer development and progression and develop molecular imaging techniques.

Through biomedicine, we understand human body function and health. Fighting infectious diseases through new therapies and vaccines also has an extra impact on life in developing countries.

The master’s programme offers you the opportunity to engage in biomedical research and to be an active member of an international research group.
