Biology

This Master's specialisation focuses on improving health and environment, and providing in-depth insight into present-day clinical microbiology and microbial research in general.

In this specialisation you will study the interface between fundamental and applied ecology and medical microbiology. As a Master's student you will be part of a Microbiology research department that is at the forefront in the areas of environmental, medical, and molecular microbiology.

Microbiology at Radboud University focuses on the functioning of microorganisms and their potential for improving our health and the environment. Think of applications in energy-efficient societal waste processing or next generation vaccines. As the programme contains more than one year of academic research, you will gain extensive hands-on experience in microbial research.

Word expert in de moleculaire, cellulaire en fysiologische processen achter stressadaptatie van planten, dieren en micro-organismen. Deze onderzoeksgerichte specialisatie biedt praktijkervaring met geavanceerde technieken om je voor te bereiden op een carrière in de voorhoede van wetenschap en R&D.

Hoe wapenen organismen zich tegen een veranderende wereld? In de specialisatie Adaptive Organisms word je expert in de fysiologische veerkracht van planten en dieren. Je combineert diepgaande kennis van moleculaire- en ecofysiologie met kwantitatieve analyses. Het zwaartepunt ligt bij de praktijk: gedurende twee stages (minimaal een jaar) ontwerp en leid je je eigen experimenten. Hierbij werk je met geavanceerde technologie en scherp je je kritische onderzoekshouding aan om complexe milieu-uitdagingen te lijf te gaan.

Analyse the human impact on nature and become an environmental expert. You will learn to unravel the effects of stressors to connect scientific findings to societal implications or policies.

Analyse the human impact on nature and become an environmental expert. You will learn to unravel the effects of stressors - like carbon dioxide emission or toxic pesticides - to connect scientific findings to societal implications or policies.

In this specialisation you will dive into ecological issues on all size scales and connecting scientific findings to societal implications or environmental policies. You will be trained to become an environmental expert, analysing the human impact on nature. You will learn to unravel the effects of stressors - like carbon dioxide emission or toxic pesticide - to connect scientific findings to societal implications or environmental policies. During your two internships within the specialisation, you will be responsible for your own experiments, surveys and (model) analysis, under the supervision of one of our top researchers at the RIBES.
