MSc in Biomedical Sciences

MSc in Biomedical Sciences

From gene to health. Explore the clinical and biomedical challenges, starting from a molecular level.

Are you curious, creative and determined to solve biomedical challenges? Are you fascinated about the fundamentals of biomedicine and do you dream to be a scientist, work in a clinic or be an entrepreneur? Then the master's in Biomedical Sciences (BMS) might be exactly what you are looking for. Through a mix of theoretical courses, practical training sessions and a one-year internship, you'll explore the relationship between human beings and their environment, from molecule, to gene, to cell and organ, to individual and to entire populations. You'll learn how new scientific knowledge is obtained in basic and applied research areas, and how these insights can be used to benefit patients. Upon graduation you'll be able to pursue a career as a researcher studying diseases and treatments in both academia and industry.
