Nanobiology (joint degree)

The successful application of Nanobiology will require not simply collaboration between disciplines, but true disciplinary integration of physics and biology. We are a small, highly innovative and interdisciplinary programme applying high level math and physics to answer biological questions. The Nanobiology programme of TU Delft and Erasmus MC builds on the extensive existing research collaborations between the two institutes. The focus of the programme is on the molecular building blocks of living organisms and the tools to study them. The programme is a mixture of theoretical and practical courses, which deepen and broaden the knowledge the students have acquired previously, and original research in an academic or industrial internship and a large independent research project. The courses integrate physics, math and biology. Mandatory courses cover topics such as the study of cancer from a biological and physical perspective, modern high-resolution microscopy techniques and modelling of complex systems. Apart from the compulsory courses, there is a large selection of elective courses from both institutions.

TU Delft is the largest and oldest Dutch public technical university, founded in 1842. Ranked #47 worldwide and consistently in the top 20 for engineering subjects. Known for cutting-edge research in aerospace, water management, and sustainable energy, with alumni including famous architect Rem Koolhaas.
