Research Master’s Programmes
The Utrecht Graduate School of Life Sciences was established in 2005 to unify the research Master programmes in the six Life Sciences degree courses. These courses are offered by the faculty of Veterinary Medicine, the faculty of Science and the faculty of Social & Behavioural Sciences of Utrecht University and the faculty of Medicine of the University Medical Center Utrecht. The collaboration of four faculties, each contributing its own specific knowledge and expertise in education is unique. The themes and content of the Master programmes are continuously fed by the top research of the faculties. The degree courses are Biomedical Sciences, Biological Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Neuroscience & Cognition and Epidemiology postgraduate. Together, these degree courses offer 11 2-year research Master programmes, attended by app. 500 students. Unification of the degree courses resulted in the establishment of a single Admission Committee, Educational Committee and Board of examiners for all degree courses. In addition, a single Education and Exam Regulation and quality assurance plan have been drawn up for all courses.
