Medical Biology
Are you going to bridge the gap between early biomedical research results and clinical practice? Or would you rather study DNA, RNA and/or proteins in the laboratory? In this Master’s programme you will work to get a deep understanding of the mechanisms acting in human in health and disease at the molecular, cellular and system levels. You can choose between the following specialisations.
Are you going to bridge the gap between early biomedical research results and clinical practice? Or would you rather get your hands on DNA, RNA and protein laboratory research? You can also delve into neuro-biological and neuro-computational mechanism of the brain.
Specialisations
Human Biology. Combine fundamental human biology with clinical studies. Bridge the gap between biomedical research results and clinical practice. Get the chance to work together with scientists from highly regarded research groups.
Medical Epigenomics. How do all different types of cells each perform their own specific task? The explanation lies in the epigenome: a heritable, cell type-specific set of chromosomal modifications, which determines cell identity and regulates gene expression.
Neurobiology. Would you like to understand the brain from a multidisciplinary point of view? In this Master's specialisation, you'll study the brain across spatial scales, from molecule to whole human brains.
Science, Management and Innovation. In Science, Management and Innovation (SMI) you will gain expertise in societal challenges, work on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and learn the ability to speak the language of policy and business.
Science in Society. Are you concerned about what is going on in the world? Do you have an interest in people, policies, science and society? In this specialisation, you study the relevance of science in society using theoretical principles and practical examples.
Why study Medical Biology at Radboud University?
- You’ll have the option to perform a half-year internship abroad and thus get an extensive experience in scientific methods in an international setting. Thanks to our large worldwide network of cooperating research groups, you’ll have plenty of options (EMBL, the Max-Planck Institute, Cambridge University, US-based institutes, etc).
- Radboud University also offers internships at multiple research institutes in Nijmegen, such as the Radboud Institute for Health Sciences (RIHS), the Radboud university medical centre (Radboudumc), the Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences (RIMLS) and the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour (DI).
- Our medical biologists stand out in the fields of animal and human physiology, human genetics and disease, and molecular and cellular clinical studies.
- The courses and internships take place in a stimulating, personal setting.
Į magistro studijų programas gali stoti visi, baigę universitetą arba besimokantys paskutiniame kurse. Studijos kurias baigei ar tebesimokai turi būti panašios krypties kaip ir tos, į kurias nori stoti, kadangi priėmimas yra paremtas ECTS kreditų suderinamumu.
- ECTS kreditų išrašas - jei dar nesi baigęs aukštosios mokyklos, būtina prisegti ECTS kreditų išrašą, kuriame būtų matyti, kokius dalykus Tu mokeisi bei kokius pažymius ir kiek kreditų už juos gavai. Kai siunti anketą paskutiniame kurse, diplomą reikia prisegti vėliau, kai tik jį gausi.
- Bakalauro diplomas – jei jau esi baigęs aukštąją mokyklą, išrašo nereikia, užtenka prie anketos prisegti savo Bakalauro diplomą.
Anglų kalbos žinias gali patvirtinti vienu iš šių būdų:
- IELTS – 6.5
- TOEFL – 90
A completed Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences or related area.
Your degree has to be equivalent to a Dutch university diploma. The Examination Board will determine if an international student has the required knowledge to be admitted. The Examination Board will also indicate if the student is required to follow specific courses from the Bachelor's programme to eliminate possible deficiencies.
This programme provides you with the qualifications you need to start working on your PhD or in the field of communication, business and management or education. Medical biologists often continue their research careers at universities, research institutes, pharmaceutical companies and public health authorities.
The career prospects for the Master’s programme in Medical Biology differ slightly, depending on which Master’s specialisation you choose. Below you can find the career prospects of each specialisation:
