Biomolecular Sciences
Student testimonials
| "After my bachelor in Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences I wanted to do a master course that offered a good combination of molecular biology, biophysics and biochemistry. What I liked most about Biomolecular Sciences was the versatility in courses and practical work and the opportunity to choose those courses that were interesting for me. I enjoyed the motivated ambiance between fellow students, contributed to by the excellent teachters and good supervision. I did two research internships in structural biology and molecular dynamics, which made me realize that this area is where I want to continue working in after graduation."

| “I chose Biomolecular Sciences because I wanted to move away from my Bachelor's programme partially focussing on the medical side of Biology. A variety of courses such as Protein Science, Biological Fluorescence, and Molecular Cell Physiology and Function gave me insight into new possibilities of different branches of Molecular Biology. The programme also offers what I was additionally looking for: small groups to study in and good supervision throughout. After my Master's degree I hope to work for a company. I like the combination of working in the lab as well as planning my own experiment.”

What I like about Biomolecular Sciences is its small scale that allows close contact with teachers and the many international students that participate. With my background in Medical Natural Sciences, Biomolecular Sciences broadened my view on possibilities in biological research. The fun thing about this master's programme is that you can design your own course schedule and easily take courses outside your field. It takes some planning and looking around, but is definitely worth the effort! I am now doing an internship at Complex Systems at VU University Amsterdam and next year I'll do my final internship in New York.
