The Biomedical Sciences Research specialisation aims to provide you with a theoretical background and with general academic competences in multidisciplinary research in Biomedical Sciences. You will be trained to become an independent researcher, with a further career in science. Either with a view to obtaining a PhD degree, or to fill a position in an industrial or institutional research environment.
Research/PhD
Once you graduate from the master’s programme, you are qualified to apply for a PhD position. All master’s specialisations provide sufficient background to start a PhD in the biomedical domain. Once the PhD is completed, you receive the title of doctor (Dr.). This title grants admission to specialist education programmes under the auspices of the (Dutch) Foundation for Medical-Biological Research.
In contrast to most other countries, PhD candidates in the Netherlands are appointed (and paid) for the period of four years under specific appointment conditions pertaining to academic staff.
If you show extraordinary quality and talent during your MSc programme in Leiden, you may be given the opportunity by Leiden University Medical Center to continue one of your master’s research projects within a paid PhD position at LUMC for three years after graduation.
