Detailed Information of Biomolecular Sciences in Netherlands at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

These are the international student eligibility for the Biomolecular Sciences in Netherlands

The Biomolecular Science programme is open to both Dutch and International Students. The Faculty's Admission Board will decide upon your admission after having evaluated your complete online application.

In order to gain admission to the Biomolecular Sciences Master's programme, you will need to have at least a Bachelor's degree from an accredited research university including at least three full years of aEUROemic study amounting to a minimum of 180 ECTS or equivalent. We do not require a GRE or GMAT test score. A Bachelor's degree obtained at an applied university or higher vocational education (HBO in Dutch) in most cases does not grant direct access to the programme (only exceptionally high ranking students stand a chance of admission).

Specific admission requirements for the Biomolecular Sciences Master's programme
All students are strongly encouraged tocontact the Master's coordinatorbefore applying. To be considered for admission to the Master's programme in Biomolecular Sciences you must meet the following requirements depending on your previous education:

International students: If you have a international Bachelor's degree the Admission board will decide on your admission based on the following criteria:

  1. A minimum of 24 ECTS coursework in Biochemistry/Molecular Cell Biology at the 300 level (last year of Bachelor).
  2. An average Bachelor grade of at least 7.0 out of 10, or equivalent (GPA of at least 3.0 out of 4.0, second class upper division or higher for example).
  3. Bachelor internship in a relevant field (Biochemistry/ Cell Biology) with a minimum grade of 7.5 out of 10 or equivalent in other grading systems. If a final grade is not yet available an interim evaluation by the internship supervision will be considered.
  4. Experience with practical laboratory techniques gained in coursework and the Bachelor internship.
  5. AEUROemic competence at the MSc level and motivation for a career in research which will be evaluated during an interview (either in person or via computer).
  6. The Admission board may set additional requirements if necessary, for example Bachelor courses from theMinor Biomolecular Sciences.

These are the domestic student eligibility for the Biomolecular Sciences

Admission is based on a strict selection procedure. The Faculty’s Admission Board will decide upon your admission after having evaluated your complete online application.

Admission to the Master's programme is possible for an applicant who has obtained a Bachelor’s degree obtained at an institution of aEUROemic higher education, which demonstrates the following knowledge, understanding and skills: a. Knowledge and understanding of: - Biochemistry - Molecular Genetics - Molecular Biology - Cell Biology b. Practical laboratory and research skills - basic laboratory techniques and methods obtained in practicals and courses - preferably a bachelor research internship on a subject related to the topics mentioned under a.

These are the test eligibilities for the Biomolecular Sciences to qualify.
