The Master of Biophysics, Biochemistry and Biotechnology is an international, interdisciplinary study programme. This programme focuses on the phenomena related to the interaction and communication between living cells and their molecular constituents, drawing on research methods used within the fields of molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry and physics.

This master’s programme provides in-depth, interdisciplinary training in biochemical engineering as practised in various contexts and sectors. Particular areas of focus include food science, biomedical sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, and environmental sciences. In addition to fundamental (bio)chemical and scientific coursework, the curriculum includes assignments in socio-economics and biotechnology.

Are you intrigued by what's possible when different areas of science intersect? Do you want to use your engineering knowledge to improve healthcare? Come and specialize in biomaterials, neuroscience, biomedical devices, biomedical imaging or medical radiation physics. VUB offers one of the best study conditions by keeping the classes small, making it possible to closely interact with teaching staff.

The Advanced Master in Biotech & MedTech Ventures helps you develop the skill set needed to manage early-stage, tech-driven companies. You will acquire a deep understanding of what it takes to develop an innovative idea into a market-ready product, how to attract the necessary funding, and how to build a successful business from both a strategic and an organizational perspective.
