What will you learn
The field of clinical human movement sciences has a strong multidisciplinary character with topics like (exercise) physiology, (functional) anatomy, biomechanics, orthopedics, neurosciences and rehabilitation; these form the basics of the specialisation. At Radboud University, the specialisation Clinical Human Movement Sciences is characterized by a strong patient-centered approach. We focus on how to get and how to keep patients as physically active as possible. Within this specialisation we deal with questions like:
- How much exercise is needed to stay healthy?
- What happens in the human body during exercise?
- What techniques are available to measure human movement?
- How do neurological disorders affect movement?
- What interventions help to improve movement?
Future career opportunities
This master’s programme in Biomedical Sciences will teach you refined research skills. However, at Radboud University we understand that not everyone wants to become a researcher. A biomedical scientist has lots of options. To help kick-start your career after graduation we offer you different career profiles. There are mandatory courses connected to each profile.
Career prospectsResearch
You will choose a research, consultancy, communication or entrepreneurship profile and you will do two internships of your own choice. One research internship and one profile internship. Internships in the field of clinical human movement sciences can be done at different world renowned research groups from various departments of the Radboudumc, but there are also plenty opportunities at other locations in the Netherlands or abroad. We have many connections with research institutes, companies, and universities all over the world. So the possibilities are endless! Examples are: other universities, sport centers, rehabilitation centers, patient associations, health insurers, Knowledge Centre for Sport & Physical Activity, The National Health Care Institute (Zorginstituut Nederland), TNO or other research institutes.
