Biomolecular Sciences

Are you fascinated by the essential processes within living cells and eager to understand life at the molecular level? Do you want to deepen your knowledge in biomolecular sciences, and apply cutting-edge methods to answer fundamental questions and contribute to sustainable, biobased industrial or medical applications? Then the Master's degree programme in Biomolecular Sciences at the University of Groningen is for you.What to expect from the Master’s programme in Biomolecular Sciences✔ Unravel the molecular basis of life — from the inner workings of cells to innovative applications in biocatalysis and nanopore sequencing✔ Get hands-on with cutting-edge tools, including advanced cell imaging, structural biology, next-generation sequencing, single molecule biophysical methods and computational modelling✔ Conduct high-impact research at the Groningen Biomolecular Sciences and Biotechnology Institute (GBB)✔ Prepare for academic, industrial, or applied science careers in a highly international environmentThis selective two-year international Master’s programme trains you to become an independent scientist with strong expertise in molecular biosciences. You’ll work with researchers on fundamental and curiosity-driven questions in areas such as molecular genetics and cell biology, chemical and structural biology, systems and synthetic biology, molecular microbiology, bio

Founded in 1614, the University of Groningen is the second oldest university in the Netherlands with over 33,000 students. Known for its vibrant student city atmosphere (1 in 4 residents is a student), excellent research output, and 4 Nobel Prize laureates including Ben Feringa (Chemistry 2016).
