Biomedical Sciences Radboud University

Overview

In the first year, you choose one of eight BMS specialisations. In the second year, you develop professional skills through one of four career profiles, preparing you for diverse career paths. Moreover, a range of elective courses allow you to further tailor the programme to your personal interests and ambitions.

Clinical Movement Sciences

Study different aspects of patient-centered movement sciences,including excercise physiology, neurology, rehabilitation and biomechanics to improve treatment of movement disorders and chronic diseases.

Drug Safety and Toxicology

Explore different aspects of drug safety and toxicology, from molecular level to real-world applications.

Epidemiology

Are you curious about the health of human populations? Do you want to understand how diseases emerge, spread, and can be prevented? Ever wondered why COVID-19 spread so rapidly or whether immunotherapy truly works for bladder cancer? Then epidemiology may be the specialisation for you.

Health Technology Assessment

The sustainability of our health care system is under pressure, making it essential to decide which interventions to purchase, reimburse, or implement. Learn to assess the consequences of employing health care interventions, while striving to make a visible impact on healthcare.

Medical Neuroscience

Study cognitive, molecular, behavioral, and clinical neuroscience in the medical neuroscience specialisation to bridge the gap between fundamental neurobiology and clinical neurosciences.

Immunology and Host Defense

Study how our immune system combats disease, uncovering its complex defence mechanisms.

Development of Cell, Drug and Gene Therapies

From innovation to impact: Explore the multidisciplinary landscape of developing cell, drug and gene-based therapies, and discover how to tailor these and navigate pathways to provide treatments for rare diseases.

Molecular Medicine

Delve into the world of molecular medicine and make a difference in healthcare through molecular knowledge and innovation.
