Overview

The Master's programme in Biomedical Sciences is a two-year programme taught completely in English.

Key Facts

The programme offers two clusters:

Medical Biology - Medical Biology is the cornerstone of modern health care, covering areas as diverse as biomolecules, signal transduction, infectious or hereditary diseases, antibiotic resistance or behaviour. It is a multidisciplinary field in which knowledge and training in biology, chemistry, physics and informatics is integrated, strongly based in a fundamental scientific background in the Faculty of Science and optimally cooperating with the Academic Medical Centre (AMC), Dutch Cancer Institute (NKI) and Sanquin.

Neurobiology - Within the field of neurobiology and the neurosciences, there are three tracks that concentrate on different aspects of the brain. The brain is approached from a biomedical point of view, from the molecule to the mind. The programmes are supported by a number of university institutes such as the Swammerdam Institute of Life Sciences (SILS-CNS) and other neurobiological institutes like the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN) and the AMC also contribute to the courses and internships.
