Course description Qualification Field of study Course description Master of Science Health care, social services and care services This Master's programme provides you with insight into the molecular processes underlying health and disease, which form the basis for new therapies of cancer, metabolic and immunological disorders. Courses are organised along the core research themes of the Centre for Molecular Life Sciences: Infection, immunity and regenerative medicine; Metabolism, transport and motion; Cell growth and differentiation. Also, you can choose electives from the Faculties of Medical Sciences and Science. Courses: Translational Research; 3 Master classes, 2 research periods. You will also receive training in academic writing, applying for grants and verbal and written presentation of research results. The objective of the programme is to train you to become a top researcher in molecular biology and cell biology. You will get equipped with highly specialised knowledge of multidisciplinary research, not only in the mechanisms of disease, but also in state-of-the-art diagnostic methods and technologies. You will additonally acquire management skills to be capable of leading R&D projects. You can move into a career in industry, or in academia by entering an international PhD programme. 120 24 months full-time English case study, practicum, colloquium, internship, laboratory work, lecture, design project, seminar, research, tutorial, research project, research proposal, working group, group assignment, oral presentation, group discussion, individual assignment, poster presentation NVAO

Accreditation About the institution Department Information about the institution

Faculty of Medical Sciences Established in 1923 and situated in the oldest city of The Netherlands, it has seven faculties and enrols over 17.500 students. Our personal style of teaching - offering plenty of opportunity to work closely with instructors and fellow students in small seminars - ensures that the university does not become a mere 'degree factory'. == Research == Where scientists come together from different backgrounds, new insights emerge. One of the main strengths of research at our university is the way we forge cooperative links across national and disciplinary boundaries. Our top people are not buried away in their research groups they derive their strength from a continuous exchange of ideas and results with others working in related areas. == Mutual exchange == The mutual exchange between the city and the University can be heard in the intellectual debates which, in a university city such as Nijmegen, are particularly lively. This intellectual life is part of Nijmegen's atmosphere and certainly contributes to making the city and the region a more attractive place to live. -
