    What will you learn

    In the Molecular Life Sciences programme, you learn about important molecular processes from a biomedical and biological perspective, in which cells work together to form a multicellular organism (human, animal or plant). Of course, you will also need to study the relevant mathematical and physical concepts needed to understand molecular processes. That's why especially in the first year, you will follow challenging courses in physics and mathematics. Moreover, you will be studying the differences between healthy and diseased cells. You will get acquainted with these topics during lectures and seminars and perform hands-on experiments in the lab.
