Profile
The two-year MSc programme Life Science and Technology offers one research specialisation and three other specialisations where you combine Life Science research with business studies, communication or education.Programme overviewThe MSc Life Science and Technology programme offers four specialisations:-Research in Life Science and Technology: you follow a two-year programme focussed on a molecular and biomedical approach to Life Sciences to become an independent and creative scientist.-Life Science and Technology and Education (taught partly in Dutch): prepare yourself for a career in teaching chemistry and/or biology.-Life Science and Technology and Science Communication and Society: combine training in Life Sciences with courses in different aspects of science communication, such as journalism.-Life Science and Technology and Science Based Business: combine training in Life Science and Technology with components in business and entrepreneurship.The experiences and insights gained will be of benefit to those who intend to continue in an academic environment, for example as a PhD candidate in their own specialist field. The ability to communicate about science is an essential skill which all scientists should have mastered!In recent decades, life science research has enabled enormous breakthroughs in our understanding of fundamental molecular and cellular processes and mechanisms of life. The MSc programmes in Life Science & Technology in Leiden and Delft are complementary.Knowledge about genomic organisation, studies of protein-protein interactions and the characterisation of molecular structures have become central in modern life science research and technology. This knowledge forms the basis of the molecular understanding of health and disease. It finds important applications in innovative health care, in the pharmaceutical industry and in so-called ‘red’ biotechnology, and is the focus of the Leiden programme.Reasons to Choose Life Science & Technology in LeidenLife Science & Technology educates MSc students in fundamental academic and applied technology elements within Life Sciences.This master’s programme is based on the collaboration between the two internationally well-known Leiden Institute of Chemistry and the Biotechnology Institute, Delft University of Technology.Students will become full members of the various multidisciplinary internationally reputed research groups.This master’s programme offers opportunities for carrying out research projects in excellent research groups worldwide and in industrial situations.The high standard of education and research facilities ensure excellent job prospects in industry, government and academia.
