General objectives:
- The master of biomedical sciences has specialised theoretical and technical knowledge of and insight in at least one of the sub areas of biomedical sciences (cfr.infra),namely
· clinical scientific research
· tropical biomedical sciences
· neurosciences
· molecular and cellular biomedical sciences - The master of biomedical sciences is able to start Phd-research, in those scientific areas that are important to expand knowledge and insight in fundamental and applied aspects of medical sciences.
- The master of biomedical sciences knows science practice and good research practice.
- The master of biomedical sciences is an expert able to carry out scientific research related to clinical questions, in consultation with medics and paramedics and to advise medics and paramedics on diagnosis and therapy based on scientific research.
- The master of biomedical sciences is able to communicate and report in a clear and internationally accepted way, both in Dutch and in English.
- The master of biomedical sciences is able to analyze and explain scientific articles.
- The master of biomedical sciences is able to fulfil a bridging function between the biomedical sciences and the medical profession.
- The master of biomedical sciences is aware of the social and ethical implications of scientific research.
- The master of biomedical sciences is able to keep abreast of the national and international developments in his/her field and to keep his/her knowledge and skills up to standards.
The master of biomedical sciences with a major in clinical scientific research
- wants to train masters who are able to work as clinical researcher (CRE, CRC,…) or as member of a clinical service that executes and organizes clinical function examinations and laboratory examinations.
- can execute and analyse cardiovascular and repiratory function examinations.
- can determine sensitivity, specificity and predictive values of laboratory tests.
- can interpret the technical and medical validation of test results of clinical microbiological and clinical biochemical tests.
- can critically evaluate Good clinical practices (GLP) and Good manufacturing practices (GMF).
- can put preclinical data correctly in registration files and recognizes their relevance for the clinical research.
- can interpret a clinical trial
The master of biomedical sciences with a major in tropical biomedical sciences
- has a good knowledge of relevant (tropical) infection diseases with a practical insight in the interaction of ecology and the disease.
- has a good insight in the different aspects of host-parasite interactions (syndrome, anatomopathology, immunology, immunopathology) .
- can independently describe, analyze, report on and propose solutions for a scientific problem in tropical biomedical sciences.
- has a good insight in the different aspects of combatting disease and disease control programmes (preparation, implementation and evaluation).
- can recognize patterns in the epidemiology of (tropical) infection diseases, relate these to ecological circumstances (s.l.) and evaluate or suggest strategies to combat the disease on this basis.
- can contribute to product development in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industry, such as vaccine research, drugscreening and diagnostics.
The master of biomedical sciences with a major in neurosciences
- can independently describe, analyze, report on and propose solutions for a scientific problem in neuroscience.
- can set up experimental research with animal models in the context of research in the excitability and plasticity of neurones, for instance in the periferous or autonomous nervous system or the cerebellum, with the help of electrophysiological, microscopical and molecular-biological techniques in isolated preparations.
- knows about etiology, diagnosis and appearance of different neurological and psychiatric conditions.
- can set up experimental research with animal models in the context of research in the functioning of neuronecircuits in normal condition and diseased, for instance in the autonomous nervous system, the cerebellum and cerebrum, with the help of electrophysiological, microscopical and imaging techniques.
- can set up experimental research with animal models in the context of behaviour in general and neurological and psychiatric conditions in particular, with the help of neurochemical, molecular-biological and imaging techniques.
- has the option to go deeper in the set up and planning of neurogenetic studies or in modelling neurones and neuronecircuits or in functional imaging of experimental animals.
- can apply scientific insights to clinical questions in order to instigate neurophysiological, diagnostic and pharmacological therapeutic research.
The master of biomedical sciences with a major in molecular and cellular biomedical sciences
- can independently describe, analyze, report on and propose solutions for a scientific problem in molecular and cellular biomedical sciences.
- can take on leading functions in a biotechnological lab.
- is aware of the current scientific knowledge about human genome, proteome and cell biology.
- has knowledge of hightechnological developments in molecular and cellular biomedical research.
- has knowledge of molecular and cellular techniques and equiment current in contemporary research in the biomedical sector and can use these techniques and equipment in setting up experiments.
- is aware of the applications of molecular and cellular techniques in medicine, diagnostic as well as therapeutic.

A student’s final result is a weighted average of the exam results the student has obtained for all the programme components of his/her training programme. In calculating the final result, the credits corresponding to the various programme components are used for weighting the results obtained for those components.
The final result is expressed as an integer out of 100.
A student whose final result is less than 50 out of 100 can never be declared successful.
A student is successful for the training programme if he/she has obtained credits for all the programme components in his/her training programme.
The examination board can declare a student who has not obtained credits for all the programme components successful if it can substantiate why it believes that the objectives of the programme have been achieved.
For more information see the Education and Examination regulation.
