General Information

Building Leaders in Science

We take pride in creating an environment where each student can prosper in their specific field of interest; learning to think critically, independently, and creatively.

The programs we offer share a philosophy of strengthening, complementing and advancing theoretical knowledge and research skills through a heavily practical and hands-on approach. 

Students who are accepted onto one of our programs benefit from:

  • Supervision from internationally-renowned scientists
  • Application of most up to date and modern techniques
  • Wide access to the hospital's state-of-the-art facilities
  • Highly intensive and interactive programs.

Which master programs do we offer?

BCN is coordinated by the faculty of Science & Engineering. Students focusing on neurosciences research, often referred to as the "n-track" in BCN, will also conduct a large share of their research at the University Medical Center Groningen.

After your master...

If you enroll in one of the Graduate School's master programs, you will have the opportunity to design your own PhD project. The very best students will receive an offer to continue with their PhD at the UMCG. More generally, you will be well-equipped to apply to other PhD positions anywhere in the world.

Regardless of whether or not you decide to continue your education by enrolling in a doctoral program, our graduates will have the competences and skills to explore multiple and varied opportunities in both the public and private sectors.
