Masters Degrees in Biological Sciences, Netherlands

Would you like a tailor-made programme in Biology? Specialize in mathematical modelling to be applied in various biology research domains? Or do you like to design your programme at the crossroad of different biology domains? If so, Biology in Groningen is your master's degree programme. Read more

How does climate change affect whales and seals? How does over-fishing influence marine food-webs? How do we restore and protect the Wadden Sea? The two-year selective Master's degree programme in Marine Biology focuses on life in our planet's seas and oceans. Read more

The only Master’s specialisation in the Netherlands covering the function of our epigenome, a key factor in regulating gene expression and in a wide range of diseases. Read more

Radboud University’s Master’s specialisation in Microbiology deals with the interface between fundamental biological and medical sciences. Read more

Studying the cognitive and neural basis for diverse brain functions such as perception, action, language, attention and memory. Thanks to advanced brain-imaging techniques, scientists are now able to observe the human brain in action. Read more

Is your passion linked to the human system? Are you interested in the workings of the brain, or would you be the one that bridges the different understandings… Read more

Learning how to make new discoveries that will contribute to a better understanding of normal and dysfunctional human behaviour and how to influence that behaviour. Read more

Aspiring to contribute to the development of new therapies for metabolic, infectious and immunological diseases or cancer? Radboud University's internationally acclaimed Research Master's programme in Molecular Mechanisms of Disease provides an excellent foundation for a career in academic or commercial research. Read more

How do humans, animals and plants adapt to changing environments? Concerns about how organisms and the environment affect each other is an issue of modern global society. Read more

Biomedical scientists want to minimise the impact of diseases for humans and humankind. Smart, global visionaries are needed who want to solve health care issues in the lab and in the field. Read more

Applying the laws of physics in real-life situations, ranging from measuring brain activity to designing new materials and investigating space objects. Read more

Adaptive Organisms focuses on processes at the sub-organism level. Using the latest molecular and physiological tools, we study the adaptations of organisms to environmental stresses. Read more

Conservation and Restoration Ecology deals with the ecology of units of interacting individuals, in populations, communities and ecosystems. Read more

Are you interested in the neural basis of cognition, the mechanisms of neurodegeneration or the evolution of behaviour? In this programme, you can study the function and mechanisms of the brain and behaviour from three different perspectives. Read more

What causes disease? What are the (epi)genetic background of disorders? How do microorganisms in the intestine contribute to health and disease? What are the underlying mechanisms of diseases and what novel strategies can be designed to cure disease? During the Master's degree programme in Biomedical Sciences you will be trained to find answers to these questions. Read more
