Design Cultures is a programme of the Master’s Arts & Culture. We also run a programme that specializes in the cross-overs between art and media, called Comparative Arts and Media Studies. The MA is part of the Graduate School of Humanities at the VU Amsterdam.
Students will learn about human biology, and how to apply this knowledge in scientific research to medical issues surrounding health and disease. There are still so many diseases and conditions for which we have no solutions. So it is all the more important for us to expand our knowledge of how exactly our body works. Accordingly, students will study this at every level, from molecules to human populations.
While pursuing a Master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences students can opt to study a combination of different specialisations. The research specialisations will enable stdents to embark on a career in research. In the second year they decide on their profile, either with a focus on research or more into biomedical related specialisations.
The Master’s programme in Biomolecular Sciences takes two years and comprises 120 ECTS. The entire programme is taught in English. The teaching is done in the form of lectures, research tutorials, work groups, demonstrations, lab visits, lab practicals and training, and specific computer-assisted applications.
