Biomolecular Sciences

General Information

During the Master's degree programme in Biomolecular Sciences, students acquire in-depth knowledge and skills via upper-level theoretical and practical training in such a way that they become highly competent in the field of Biomolecular Sciences, and have excellent perspectives for an independent research career in an academic environment or Life Sciences industry.

Available specialisation:

• Biomolecular Sciences

Career Prospects

Biomolecular scientists, graduates of the Master’s degree programme in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, who wish to pursue a research career in an academic environment have excellent opportunities to apply for a PhD position in the areas of Life Science, Biochemistry, Biomedical Sciences, and Bio(nano)technology. Alternatively, graduates have good perspectives to acquire a position in institutions for applied sciences (e.g. TNO, RIVM, etc.) or R&D units of Life Sciences Industries.

Admission

Requirements for admission to the Master’s programme in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology include:

1. A Bachelor's degree in one of the following fields:

• Life Sciences, majoring in Molecular Life Sciences
• Life Sciences, majoring in Medical Biology (incl. completed courses on General Chemistry and Bioinformatics)
• Chemistry, majoring in Biochemistry or Biophysical Chemistry
• Life Science and Technology, majoring in Genomics and Proteomics or Molecular Medical Cell Biology

2. The Admissions Board will decide whether you can be admitted to the Maste's degree programme. In general, for external students admission is granted if a suitable Bachelor's degree has been obtained in which molecular cell biology or microbiology, molecular genetics, biochemistry or biophysical chemistry forms a major component.

Candidate students can contact the coordinator for further information concerning their required entrance level. Admission is possible on condition that predetermined compulsory courses will be completed successfully.
