Overview

This Biomedical Technology and Physics - Research programme from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is also perfect preparation for a career in R&D in industry or a start-up.

Key Facts

A multidisciplinary programme that covers three research fields

During your Master’s in Biomedical Technology and Physics, you’ll study three different fields: Medical Physics, Biophysics and Clinical Technology.

Medical Physics deals with the study of processes in the human body. It also covers how to develop and improve devices to diagnose disease and/or monitor the outcome of treatment.

Biophysics has three key research areas: the development of minimally invasive optical imaging and microscopy technologies for the functional mapping of human tissues; the use of fluorescence and microscopic techniques for the study of DNA and essential proteins in human cells; and the use of advanced laser-spectroscopic techniques to study the interaction between light and biological matter.

Clinical Technology research is either embedded in Amsterdam UMC’s clinical and biomedical technology sciences, or has strong links with it. You’ll be in close communication with medical staff and biologists.

Other requirements

General requirements

In order to gain admission to the Biomedical Technology and Physics Master’s programme, you will need to have at least a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited research university including at least three full years of academic study amounting to a minimum of 180 ECTS or equivalent. We do not require a GRE or GMAT test score. A Bachelor's degree obtained at an applied university or higher vocational education (HBO in Dutch) in most cases does not grant direct access to the programme (only exceptionally high ranking students stand a chance of admission).
Specific admission requirements for the Biomedical Technology and Physics Master's programme
The Biomedical Technology and Physics programme is open to both Dutch and international students with a background in (bio)medical natural sciences or a related subject, like a bachelor in Biomedical Engineering, Physics or similar. Admission is based on a strict selection procedure.
