Introduction
Is your passion linked to the human system? Are you interested in the workings of the brain, or would you be the one that bridge the differentunderstandings of fundamental biological processes and health & disease in humans? Your choice might be Medical Biology!
Where studying Biology starts with a fascination for life, Medical Biology shares this trait and specifies it towards the human system. The Master's in Medical Biology in Nijmegen focuses strongly on molecular and cellular life processes at the cutting edge of fundamental biology and medical scientific research.
Our programme is unique because it is a combination of fundamental research and the translation of its findings into clinical applications. This is facilitated by our close cooperation with the University Medical Centre.

Specialisations
At the beginning of the first year, all students follow an orientation course before they choose one of the three Master's tracks:

	Cell Dynamics
	Clinical Biology
	Neurobiology

During the first year of the Master's programme there is a strong emphasis on experimental research. You will gather a lot of practical experience in the field of research to prepare you for a career as an (international) scientist. The second year allows you to look beyond the scope of science and build a bridge between science and the public, in the field of communication, management or education.

Experts
Education is closely linked to on-going research within the Institute for Water and Wetlands Research, the Institute of Neuroscience and the Nijmegen Centre for Molecular Life Sciences. Nijmegen's biologists are experts in the fields of animal physiology at system level as well as at cellular and molecular level. But they also are top researchers in the fields of human health, disease and development.

Admission requirements

1. A completed Bachelor's degree in Medical Biology or related area
In general, you are admitted with the equivalent of a Dutch Bachelor's degree in Medical Biology with relevant subjects. If you do not have all the right subjects, you will need to catch up in a taylor-made transition programme, depending on your prior education. It may take a maximum of six month and will be evaluated by the examination commission. For more information on transition programmes, please contact Ms. C. Mooren (c.mooren@science.ru.nl).

2. A proficiency in English
The language requirements for Master's programme in Medical Biology differ from the general language requirements!
In order to take part in the programme, you need to have a sufficient level of English. This requirement has been satisfied when the student provides us with one of these documents:

	TOEFL score of >550 (paper based) or >213 (computer based) or >80 (internet based)
	IELTS score of >6.5
