• The Biomolecular Sciences Master’s program at VU Amsterdam aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and insight required to operate as an independent scientist within the field of biomolecular sciences. It’ll also prepare students to become suitable candidates for a career in research.
  • With a thorough understanding of molecular and cellular processes and a focus on fundamentals, students will be better positioned to innovate and develop biotechnological solutions or treatments for these issues. Moreover, today’s biomolecular scientists are increasingly exposed to huge volumes of data from high-throughput methods, which require a critical scientific approach. To this end, it’s vital that molecular and cell biology graduates are well-prepared to enter the lab within an interdisciplinary life sciences research community.
  • This two-year program gives students the opportunity to choose between three specializations, depending on their area of interest:
    • Molecular Cell Biology
    • Biological Chemistry
    • Molecular Bioinformatics
  • These combine both compulsory core courses – including Protein Science and Genomes & Gene Expression – plus a selection of elective courses. It’s also possible to choose courses across the different tracks to create student’s own unique study program.
