In de MSc Biomedical Sciences bouw je aan een stevige theoretische ondergrond in de biomedische wetenschappen en doe je algemene academische vaardigheden op in het doen van multidisciplinair onderzoek. Je wordt opgeleid tot zelfstandig onderzoeker, voor een loopbaan in de wetenschap. Met een master Biomedical Sciences kun je besluiten je PhD te behalen of te gaan werken in industrieel of institutioneel onderzoek.
In de specialisatie Biomedical Sciences Management bekwaam je je op het gebied van management en ondernemingen, met een focus op bedrijven die zich bezig houden met wetenschap en onderzoek.
Entry requirements
- BSc in Biomedical Sciences in the Netherlands (or abroad) > deficiencies are unlikely, but may occur depending on which bachelor courses were taken;
- a relevant bachelor’s degree (for example Medical Biology, Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences, Life Science)
This implies a bachelor’s degree obtained at a high level university with sufficient education (about a month of full-time study per subject) in the following subjects: Molecular Cellular Biology, Genetics, Immunology, Anatomy, Pathology, Physiology, Microbiology, Neurosciences, Epidemiology, and Statistics. Several months’ experience of working in a laboratory is also required > some deficiencies are likely. Admission will be considered; - Hbo Bachelor’s in Biology and Medical Laboratory Research > premaster’s programme of one year at LUMC, provided good results were obtained in previous education, relevant modules were taken, and research/laboratory experience was gained. Other hbo-bachelor certificates are unlikely to warrant admission to the pre-master’s programme.
- proof of sufficient proficiency in English (IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 570/230/90), evidenced by an appropriate test
This requirement does not apply if you have:- completed your education in Canada, USA, UK, Ireland, New Zealand or Australia, or
- an International or European Baccalaureate
International students who want to apply for the communication or education specialisations should have proof of proficiency in Dutch (an NT2-II certificate, or an equivalent qualification in the Dutch language).
Students who have a BSc in Biomedical Science from Leiden University do not have to apply for admission.
Insufficient previous education?
- Insufficient education in a number of the aforementioned subjects may be compensated by sufficient previous education in other subjects relevant for a Biomedical Science education (e.g. Biochemistry, Pharmacology);
- Insufficient education in one or more of the aforementioned subjects may be compensated prior to, or at the beginning of the master’s programme, by taking (bachelor’s) courses offered by LUMC (in English if available);
- Students with a Dutch bachelor degree in applied sciences (hbo bachelor) may be admitted to the master’s programme after a premaster’s course at LUMC of about one year.
All of the above possibilities for candidates with educational deficiencies are subject to a decision to that effect taken by the board of admission.
