Bioinformatics has become integral in many biological fields, especially in experimental molecular biology and biomedicine. The objectives of the molecular bioinformatics program are to provide you with a broad knowledge of bioinformatics with applications in molecular biology, genetic engineering, and biomedicine.

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.

Molecular Biodesign is a form of biological design that has been developed to deal with a structural or functional biological task. The program leads to a broad degree in bioscience, with a focus on molecular biology and biotechnology. It is within these fields that your future employment market can be found.

We have a flexible curriculum that allows students to select classes to specialize in their area of research. All graduate programs are tailored to meet the goals and expectations of the individual student. The department requires a minimum of core courses, thus allowing flexibility in program design.

The PhD in Biostatistics is founded in theory and application or statistical analysis. The aim is to produce research-oriented scientists who can advance statistical and modeling theory and can interact effectively with scientists in other disciplines to advance knowledge in those fields.
