Life Science & Technology researches the processes in the living cell. The cell is the building block of life, the smallest unit with the characteristics of living systems. Increased knowledge of the mechanisms of the cell can lead to a cleaner industry, better medicines, new methods for combating diseases and isolating enzymes for the development of improved foodstuffs.

To precisely map cellular activity, we need more than a complete understanding of just cell biology. Many of the cellular processes can be put to good use but to achieve the best possible result it is imperative that we can direct and influence these processes. This relatively new, multidisciplinary area combines fundamental and applied knowledge from the disciplines of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Technology, Informatics, Pharmacology and Mathematics.

Our Master programme is a two-year, English language, multidisciplinary programme. In these two years this programme aims to equip students with knowledge and expertise on both a technological and fundamental level, preparing them for careers in both industrial and academic environments. Biotechnological-, food- and biopharmaceutical industries as well as healthcare and fundamental research institutions are probable employers of our graduates.
