Overview

During the Biomolecular Sciences programme at the University of Groningen, you will acquire in-depth knowledge and research skills via upper level theoretical and practical training. You will become highly competent in biomolecular sciences, as well as the more applied side, biotechnology.

Thus, you will acquire excellent perspectives for an independent career in an academic, medical or industrial research environment, or as a scientific consultant for the public or private sector.

This selective Master's degree programme is designed for students primarily aiming for a career in research, and who are able to keep up with the study pace of the cohort that starts in September.

Job prospects

Biomolecular scientists, graduates of the Master's degree programme in Biomolecular Sciences, can pursue:

A PhD in the areas of Biomolecular Sciences, Biomedical Sciences, Life Sciences, Biochemistry and Bio(nano-)technology

An R&D position in Life Sciences-, Medical-, Pharmaceutical- and Food Industry

A position as a Scientific Advisor in a company

Programme Structure

About The Course:

The programme starts with a series of advanced courses on the state of the art in biomolecular sciences, followed by a series of optional specialist-topic or skills-courses that are tailored to the individual preferences of the student.

A large part of the programme is devoted to two research projects, in which the students are fully embedded in a research group of their choice to conduct their own research.

To guarantee optimal supervision and a first-class research environment, the first project has to be carried out at Groningen Biomolecular Sciences and Biotechnology Institute.

The second project should be conducted in a different research group, either at GBB, the University of Groningen or elsewhere, to learn new techniques and scientific approaches, and to extend the scientific network. If desired, this second project also can be done abroad.
