Are you a recent graduate in the life sciences field? Do you want to master up your science skills? To become a more independent and versatile professional? This master of science in molecular life sciences offers just that. The perfect balance between workplace learning and applied research.

This program offers broad training at the frontier of research. Molecular life sciences aim is to understand the structure, function, and regulation of biological systems from the molecular to organism level. This rapidly growing field, seeing extensive technological advances and emerging new sub-disciplines, opens up a broad spectrum of career opportunities.

Molecular Sciences has in recent years emerged as a field somewhat broader than Chemistry, as its activities include methods and technologies which previously were linked to e.g. physics and biotechnology. Molecular Sciences includes the analysis of molecules at all levels, ranging from physical properties, through chemical reactivity, to interactions in larger assemblies, such as in a biological cell.

During their graduate studies, our students participate in innovative and groundbreaking scientific research in one of the numerous fields of the life sciences, according to their choice. Graduate studies take place only within the research track, which requires submission of a thesis, and are contingent upon finding an advisor among the Institute's researchers.

Molecular biology is the discipline within the life sciences aimed at understanding the molecular basis of life in health and disease. It is a multidisciplinary area of study and deals with the structure and function of molecules as well as their interplay in creating the phenomenon of life.

Can spent nuclear fuel be safely contained in bedrock? How does chemistry benefit bioeconomy? In the Master's Programme in Chemistry and Molecular Sciences, you learn experimental research methods in many fields of chemistry, like analytical and synthetic chemistry, radiochemistry, molecular research, and spectroscopy. The studies provide you with an excellent basis for expertise and prepare you to meet local and global challenges.

The joint master's programme in Molecular Techniques in Life Science fosters graduates for a professional research career in life science. It has a strong focus on molecular techniques for disease therapies and diagnostic tools, coupled with substantial training in data analysis (bioinformatics and programming). The programme is a collaboration between Karolinska Institutet, KTH and Stockholm University at the Science for Life Laboratory in Stockholm, offering students the unique opportunity to study at all three institutions.

As a Molecular Sciences student in Nijmegen, you will dive into all aspects of the synthesis and functioning of molecules; from solid state molecular chemistry to spectroscopy and to the chemical biology that lies at the basis of health and disease. This Master’s programme combines theoretical courses with extensive research internships in a multidisciplinary environment.

The MSc in Biomolecular Sciences is connected to research institute GBB, which has an excellent international reputation and covers the field of systems-, chemical-, and synthetic biology. You are going to study in internationally oriented research and business area and will have the possibility to join the International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition in Boston. Besides that, our faculty is the home of the 2016 Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry, Ben Feringa, and the Nobel Prize winner in Physics, Frits Zernike.

MSc in Molecular Biology is a form part of our day-to-day lives wherever we are, and we constantly have to make decisions drawing on scientific and technological knowledge. Natural scientists tell us the significance of C02 in relation to climate change, and when we have to decide whether to reduce C02 emissions, we need to understand what sort of knowledge we have and on what it is based.

With the MSc in Molecular Nutrition and Food Technology, you can acquire the tools and knowledge required to develop nutritious foods – foods designed to reduce the risk of developing the lifestyle diseases of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, allergy, and cancer. As the media reminds us on a daily basis, we are what we eat.

The master's programme in Molecular Science and Engineering provides in-depth knowledge of molecular systems and advanced tools for careers in industry, academia, and society. An emphasis is placed on molecules: their design, characterisation, and applications both as individual entities and as part of materials. The programme also relates to sustainability with an emphasis on energy and environment, safety, and innovation.

This course will equip you with the skills and specialised knowledge needed to embark on your career in this exciting and fast-moving area of bioscience. Molecular biotechnology is a broad field that offers a variety of assignments and an overview of topics within biotechnology.

Are you interested in the molecular mechanisms behind major health problems, such as cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s? What about their impact on antibiotics or food production? The Biomolecular Sciences Master’s program at VU Amsterdam aims to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and insight required to operate as an independent scientist within the field of biomolecular sciences. It’ll also prepare you to become a suitable candidate for a career in research.

Pace’s MS in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program offers a unique, cutting-edge curriculum that provides you with the professional training required for the increasingly dynamic job market in the pharmaceutical biotech, biochemistry, and molecular biology fields.
