Would you like to specialise in organismal stress adaptation? Or in ecosystem dynamics, so that you can contribute to species protection and nature recovery? You could also dive into environmental modelling or walk the line between biological and medical (micro)biology. At Radboud University, you can choose from eight specialisations to define your field of interest within Biology.

Studieprogramma

specialisaties
specialisatie Adaptive Organisms
In this research-oriented specialisation, you will become an expert in the fundamental processes involved in stress adaptation of individual organisms, for example plants, micro-organisms and animals.
In this challenging, research-oriented specialisation, you will become an expert in the fundamental processes involved in stress adaptation of individual organisms, for example plants, micro-organisms and animals.Knowledge about stress adaptation is crucial for our society. Think of animal well-being, nature conservation, agriculture and biotechnology. The Master's specialisation in Adaptive Organisms is a challenging research-orientated programme that covers the fundamental processes involved in stress responses of plants, micro-organisms and animals. At Radboud University, we connect fundamental research to these real life situations, by collaborating with governmental organisations, NGOs and biotech companies.
specialisatie Conservation and Restoration Ecology
Focus on the relationships between communities within an ecosystem. Learn how they respond to environmental stress and unravel ecosystem dynamics to contribute to nature conservation and restoration.
Focus on the relationships between different communities within an ecosystem. Find out how they respond to environmental stress and unravel ecosystem dynamics. Use these insights to contribute to nature conservation and restoration.An ecosystem is a biological community consisting of numerous plants, animals and micro-organisms, influenced by soil and water characteristics, weather conditions and human intervention. In this Master’s specialisation, you will get insight in the relations between individuals, populations and communities with their environment. You will also learn how they react to environmental stress. This fundamental knowledge can be applied in nature protection and restoration or in nature-based industrial processes, for example water purification.
specialisatie Microbiology
This Master's specialisation focuses on improving health and environment, and providing in-depth insight into present-day clinical microbiology and microbial research in general.
In this specialisation you will study the interface between fundamental and applied ecology and medical microbiology. As a Master's student you will be part of a Microbiology research department that is at the forefront in the areas of environmental, medical, and molecular microbiology.Microbiology at Radboud University focuses on the functioning of microorganisms and their potential for improving our health and the environment. Think of applications in energy-efficient societal waste processing or next generation vaccines. As the programme contains more than one year of academic research, you will gain extensive hands-on experience in microbial research.
specialisatie Water and Environment
Analyse the human impact on nature and become an environmental expert. You will learn to unravel the effects of stressors to connect scientific findings to societal implications or policies.
Analyse the human impact on nature and become an environmental expert. You will learn to unravel the effects of stressors - like carbon dioxide emission or toxic pesticides - to connect scientific findings to societal implications or policies. In this specialisation you will dive into ecological issues on all size scales and connecting scientific findings to societal implications or environmental policies. You will be trained to become an environmental expert, analysing the human impact on nature. You will learn to unravel the effects of stressors - like carbon dioxide emission or toxic pesticide - to connect scientific findings to societal implications or environmental policies. During your two internships within the specialisation, you will be responsible for your own experiments, surveys and (model) analysis, under the supervision of one of our top researchers at the RIBES.
specialisatie Transnational ecosystem-based Water Management
The Master's specialisation is an international programme for future water managers, combining ecology, hydrology, and socio-economics. The focus is on ecological solutions.
What is the best way to handle invasive species in a river ecosystem? Or, how do you protect a city like New Orleans from floods? In this double degree programme, you’ll learn to tackle these kinds of problems on the basis of ecological, hydrological and social-economic aspects. We focus on ecological solutions, which are often more effective than technical adjustments. Think of estuaries with seagrass fields breaking the waves instead of reinforcing dikes, or self-purification of drainage-basins, making dredging unnecessary.This Master’s specialisation is partly taught at Radboud University and partly at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany. This means that you’ll profit from the expertise at two universities and become familiar with different cultures and research approaches. And after successful completion of the programme, you'll receive a German and a Dutch diploma.
