How does your body convert food into energy? What happens in the immune system when someone falls ill? How do you research new treatment methods for a disease like cancer?

During the Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, you will study in detail the processes that take place in the human body—both in sickness and in health.

Discover your Biomedical Sciences programme
During the Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences programme you will study molecules, cells, and organs, and learn how they are interconnected. If you want to get to the bottom of what a disease is and to investigate how to treat and cure them, this programme is for you. As a biomedical scientist, you will usually not be working directly with patients—but behind the scenes you will be making all the difference.

About this course

Discover what happens in the human body

How can we combat viruses? What happens in the brain when someone has a stroke? How do toxic substances affect different processes in the human body?

As a Biomedical Sciences student, you approach human biology from different levels: from the molecular level to that of entire populations. You learn not only about anatomy, biochemistry and physiology, but also about the immune system and how everything interacts. You gain a solid theoretical basis as well as taking part in practicals from the very start of the programme. You work in the lab, do experiments and learn how to handle micro-organisms safely.

The programme is taught in English. And for good reason: biomedical researchers all over the world communicate with one another in English, and most biomedical research is published in English. In the first year, junior lecturers are available to answer any questions you might have about specific courses or your studies in general, when at the same time they are supervising you during practicals and work groups.

This programme provides you with a great deal of research experience, including a four-month internship as part of a research group during your final year. For your internship you might join an ongoing study on cancer, for example, or tuberculosis.

The start date of this programme is September 1st.

Course programme

First year

In the first year, you are familiarised with general theory in the field of biomedical sciences and develop the basic skills required to work in molecular and cellular biology. You follow lectures on immunology, toxicology, histology, and genetics. You also take an elective course in line with your interests.

Subjects
  • Study and Career BMED Year 1
  • English Language Test
  • Fire Control Course for BMED Students
  • Genetics
  • Introduction to Biomedical Sciences
  • Biochemistry
  • Cell Biology - Histology
  • Microbiology - Toxicology
  • Evolutionary Developmental Biology
  • Human Development
  • Research in Biomedical Sciences
  • Immunology
Second year

The second-year courses are geared more towards medicine, including medical biochemistry, oncology, and neuroscience. You also look at the influence of food and medicines on organs and processes. How do medicines work? What happens when chemicals enter the body? Additionally, you take part in a range of research practicals. This year also offers an elective course.

Third year

During the first five months of the year, you follow a minor. We offer minors in: Biomolecular Sciences, Neurosciences, or Topics in Biomedical Sciences. These in-depth tracks are designed to prepare you for the corresponding Master’s degrees at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Naturally, you can also design your own minor, or specialise in education or communication. You then do a four-month research internship in an area of your choice. The year concludes with a final elective course.
