This Biomedical Sciences master programme will help to deepen and broaden your understanding of human health and disease. You will acquire a skill set suitable for a wide range of career opportunities not only in (biomedical) research, but also in industry, policy making, communication or education.
This two-year programme is highly flexible and our specialisations (Research, Management, Communication and Education) allow you to pursue your personal interests in the way that suits you best.
The first, common, master year provides you with a solid background in Biomedical Sciences via compulsory and elective courses, and a research internship. The interdisciplinary character of the first year offers you great opportunities to address health and disease-related issues from various directions. The second master year is dedicated to one of the specialisations.
The program is offered by the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC), a modern institution which combines research, education and patient care with a strong scientific orientation. The LUMC is located in the Leiden BioScience Park, whose companies also offer excellent opportunities for internships and/or a future job.
