Biomedical Technology and Physics

Biomedical Technology and Physics is a multidisciplinary program in the fields of Medical Physics, Biophysics, Clinical Diagnostics and Technology in the departments of Physics and Chemistry at the VU and the Amsterdam UMCs. Do you want to develop new possibilities and techniques for medical diagnosis and treatment? Are you interested in medical-biological applications? Do you want to translate research into the fundamentals of physics, biology and chemistry into innovative solutions for healthcare?

As a Master’s student, you will have approximately one year of courses and one year of internships. In period 2, 4, 5, and 6 you have the option to choose two out of the offered courses, aimed to deepen your physical knowledge, to learn about modeling and image processing, electronics, or about entrepreneurship. You will learn of modern day clinical practice, problems and technologies, a/o by a series of lectures offered by clinicians. You can choose for a more fundamental biophysical direction or for a more clinically applied direction. Also, you can choose a specialisation in research and education, which dictates the courses in the second year of this master's program. An important part of the master is the internships in the research groups at the Amsterdam UMC or at the VU. Here you apply your knowledge to solve scientific and real life problems and improve your practical skills.
