Why the UvA?
Biomedical Sciences at the UvA is closely affiliated with the University of Amsterdam Academic Medical Center (AMC-UvA), the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences (SILS), the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) and the Sanquin Blood Supply Foundation. This provides a unique and exciting science-dense area in which the strengths of the participating institutes are combined, from fundamental to applied research. The cooperation with these prominent institutes ensures students a broad range of expertises and excellent internship opportunities.
Studieprogramma

specialisaties
specialisatie Medical Biochemistry and Biotechnology
During the past century unprecedented advances have been made in the area of biochemistry and metabolic diseases.
The human genome has been sequenced and is now being studied for the regulation of gene expression, protein function and metabolism.
In addition, genomes of many major pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella and certain Escherichia coli strains have been sequenced as well as those from medically important yeasts such as Candida albicans. These microorganisms can all cause life threatening infections. The question is which of the genes in the genome of the microorganisms are expressed when and why. In other words, given the external environment how does the (micro)organism interact with it and how does it regulate its own homeostasis in the face of the environmental challenge? Microorganisms are also often used as modelsystems for higher eukaryotes.
specialisatie Cell Biology and Advanced Microscopy
Cell Biology is the discipline that studies the function of cells in the complexity of tissues and organs in the human body in order to understand mechanisms of disease.
The tremendous revolutions in the past decade in light microscopy and biosensors to visualize processes in cells have changed cell biology completely.
The track Cell Biology and Advanced Microscopy is a collaborative effort by the University of Amsterdam (UvA) the Academic Medical Centre (AMC) and the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI), who collaborate in the van Leeuwenhoek Center for Advanced Microscopy (LCAM). These departments are all front runners in studying cell functions microscopically in time, even down to the single molecule level.
specialisatie Infection and Immunity
The master track “Infection and Immunity” has been designed to integrate the advanced knowledge in two interlinked disciplines.
Immunology is the science that investigates how complex multicellular organisms (mostly mammals) defend themselves against infectious diseases. Immunologists investigate biological systems at all levels of integration: molecular, (sub)cellular, tissue, organism and society. The experimental tools address the molecular, structural and cell biological level, incorporating state of the art techniques such as microarrays, deep sequencing, live imaging and multicolor fluorescent flow cytometry.
specialisatie Oncology
Cancer is a major health problem in modern-day society and is one that demands the attention of the scientific community.
The Master's programme in Oncology provides training for biomedical life science students to become qualified researchers, capable of making distinctive contributions to the improved diagnosis and treatment of cancer in the near future.
Studying Oncology at the University of Amsterdam
The Academic Medical Centre and the Netherlands Cancer Institute have collaborated with the University of Amsterdam (UvA) to create a Master's programme that offers students a comprehensive introduction to contemporary cancer research.
specialisatie Developmental and Therapeutic Biology
This track focuses on all aspects of developmental biology and their clinical applications.
Scientists in the field of clinical embryology, reproductive medicine, molecular hematology and cellular therapy will introduce you to state-of-the-art knowledge and techniques, as well as to the ethical and legal framework of contemporary and future possibilities regarding therapeutic approaches. This track is a collaboration between the Faculty of Science, the Amsterdam UMC (location AMC) and Sanquin and will be taught at the last two locations.
specialisatie Experimental Internal Medicine
The track Experimental Internal Medicine is a collaborative effort by the University of Amsterdam (UvA) Faculty of Science and the Academic Medical Centre (AMC). I
nternationally renowned AMC research groups engaged in modern clinical and translational research have put together challenging courses. These courses provide the participants with a thorough background on modern, state-of-the-art research in the experimental internal medicine.
