Key Summary
Do you enjoy science and engineering and would you like to apply it in medical applications? You learn to develop methods that trigger the body to repair or renew itself. With a bachelor’s degree in Regenerative Medicine and Technology you gain all the multidisciplinary knowledge and skills needed to design and market innovative solutions in healthcare.
The rapidly growing field of regenerative medicine is an upcoming field where science and technology meet to design and develop new medical therapies based on regeneration. It can help treat damaged tissue or attempt to heal certain chronic diseases and not merely treat its symptoms.
With a combination of science, engineering, and medicine you can for example study how tissues and materials interact and how this can enhance the regeneration process.
Fast facts

Why this program?
Regenerative Medicine and Technology
The exciting and multidisciplinary field of regenerative medicine
You learn to design and develop medical therapies, products and devices for research and clinical use in regenerative medicine. The fields of science (biology, chemistry, data science), engineering (mathematics, physics, materials), medicine (physiology, anatomy) and entrepreneurship are well represented in the curriculum.
Strong cooperation with MUMC+
Regenerative Medicine and Technology is remarkable for its close collaboration with the Maastricht University Medical Centre and professionals from the industry. You work on real-world problems brought to you by clinicians and/or the industry. In addition to courses and research projects, you receive training in laboratory skills aligned with the content of your courses and work on a set of academic and professional competencies which prepare you for your future career.
A better and more sustainable tomorrow
You design methods that allow the body to repair itself by conducting research and applying state-of-the-art technologies. For many patients this offers an excellent alternative to organ and tissue transplants and sometimes also life-long medication. Help eradicate some of the common chronic diseases like diabetes, arthritis and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) as well as various cardiovascular conditions. This not only contributes to a better life quality for patients but in the long run also helps keep the health costs down.
Building bridges
You build bridges between science, technology, healthcare and health. Moreover, you develop yourself as a professional and learn how to speak the different languages of various experts and how to market your regeneration-based solutions.
It is Maastricht University’s (UM) mission to offer students from all over the world the opportunity to develop into active, globally oriented thinkers that are ready to make a positive contribution to their societies.
UM’s high-quality, innovative education based on small-scale Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in an international and intercultural setting prepares students for this purpose.
As an open and accessible academic community, UM offers several scholarships to support top-performing undergraduate and graduate students with personal development potential that are experiencing financial difficulties to pursue a degree at UM. UM scholarship students function as important ambassadors of the university during and after their studies.UM scholarship students are selected on the basis of their academic excellence, extracurricular engagement, active citizenship and financial need. As the number of scholarships is limited, the selection process is highly competitive.
Before applying for a UM scholarship, please take into account the factors summed up below. Read these carefully, to make sure that the valuable time you invest in applying pays off:
- You will have to apply for a study program at UM before applying for a scholarship;
- You are only allowed to apply for one UM scholarship, multiple applications will be disqualified;
- Verify if your nationality is eligible for the scholarship;
- Verify whether your study program is participating in the scholarship;
- Ensure that if the scholarship covers only the tuition fees, you are able to finance your own living expenses (rent, food and insurances) for the complete duration of your studies.
