How do cells, ecosystems, and evolution interact to shape life? Can we use biological data to understand disease or protect biodiversity? What does it take to connect science with real-world impact? If you're ready to deepen your biological knowledge while exploring interdisciplinary solutions, the Master's degree in Biology at the University of Groningen is for you.
✔ Choose one of the six research profiles in integrative research fields such as Evolutionary Medicine, Modelling in the Life Sciences, or Microbiome Research
✔ Alternatively, orient yourself towards a biological career in policy, industry or consultancy
✔ Design your own study path with flexible electives and personal mentorship
✔ Study in an international environment at the forefront of biological innovation
This two-year international Master’s programme prepares you to become a versatile biologist, trained to operate where breakthroughs occur, at the interface of different disciplines.
