Overview
After the first year of research, you can make your degree your own by choosing either a future in research, or in a field more directly tied to society. Those latter fields include International Public Health, Science Communication, Science in Society or Education – Teaching Biology (Dutch only).
The societal specialisations will make you well prepared and well equipped for a scientific function that lies outside the standard domain of laboratory research.
The Biomedical Sciences - Immunology programme’s structure at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam ensures that you will emerge as a specialist in one or two specific disciplines within the biomedical sciences.
Start working
Having completed the Master's programme in Biomedical Sciences, your career prospects are promising.
