- The Biomedical Sciences Master's program equips students with the knowledge, skills, and understanding required to operate as an independent professional in a range of disciplines and to be a suitable candidate for a subsequent career in biomedical research.
- The program offers students the opportunity to decide if their future lies in research, or in applying what they’ve learned in a variety of societal contexts.
- Students will start the program with a research specialization in Immunology, Infectious Disease, or Neurobiology.
- After the first year of research, students can make their degree their 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 specializations will make students well prepared and well equipped for a scientific function that lies outside the standard domain of laboratory research.
- The program’s structure ensures that students will emerge as a specialist in one or two specific disciplines within the biomedical sciences.
- Courses form half of the Biomedical Sciences program. For the other half, students must conduct their own research. There is plenty of scope for practical work, giving students the opportunity to use the very latest research methods and equipment. Students can also select a work placement in policymaking, education, or communication, depending on their chosen specialization.
