Programme profile
Can we generate new organs from cells? How do you design an artificial heart valve? How do biological molecules such as proteins and DNA work?In this degree programme in Life Science and Technology you will learn how to find answers to questions like these. This degree programme combines elements from a variety of disciplines, including biology, pharmacy, physics, chemistry and engineering. You will learn how to use this knowledge to create medical applications that make people better or improve their quality of life.
Life Science and Technology is a hugely varied field of study, so you can specialize in the area that appeals to you the most. You can choose between:
- Behaviour & Neurosciences
- Molecular Life Sciences
- Biomedical Sciences
- Biomedical Technology.
Programme content
The following specialisations are available:
Biomedical Technology
This specialisation is for students interested in both healthcare and technology. A biomedical technologist designs and develops new diagnostic and treatment techniques for the healthcare sector. You will learn to communicate and cooperate with physicians, biologists, biochemists and engineers, all with different backgrounds.
Biomedical Sciences
The focus of this specialisation is the human as a biological creature. Medical biologists want to understand the biological basis of diseases in humans and how diseases develop. Their aim is to develop better diagnostic and therapeutic programmes together with other scientists.
Behaviour & Neurosciences
This specialisation is for students who want to know how the brain works and why animals and humans behave the way they do.You will gain insight into all manner of factors to do with behaviour, such as nurture conditions, the environment and endogenous processes.
Molecular Life Sciences
This specialisation is for students who want to do molecular science, such as studying of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in their environment, or research into cellular functions. Students can focus on the development of molecular technologies in medicine or in biotechnology, which will involve cooperating with many other disciplines
