Bioinformatics and Systems Biology
Discover which biomolecules make the difference between health and disease. Are you interested in unravelling this by using machine learning, sequence analysis, computational models and/or systematic experiments? This interdisciplinary Bioinformatics and Systems Biology programme combines biology, data science and systems thinking, preparing you to make a real impact in life sciences research.

Biophysics and Biophotonics (Physics and Astronomy)
In the two-year track Physics and Astronomy - Biophysics and Biophotonics from the University of Amsterdam, you will use the language of physics to explore the secrets of life processes. This Master's track was formerly known as Physics of Life and Health.

Astronomy and Astrophysics (Physics and Astronomy)
The two-year Physics and Astronomy - Astronomy and Astrophysics programme of the University of Amsterdam, a joint degree with the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, provides you with thorough training in both the observational and theoretical aspects of modern astronomy and astrophysics.

Chemistry of Life (Chemistry)
The Chemistry - Chemistry of Life program at University of Amsterdam will focus on aspects of chemistry related to living systems, such as the role of enzymes in organic chemistry, biomolecular simulations, and biotechnological approaches in industry.

Theoretical Physics (Physics and Astronomy)
Einstein, Bohr, Feynman, Hawking... Theoretical physics has captured the imagination for many generations. The two-year Physics and Astronomy - Theoretical Physics programme of the University of Amsterdam, a joint degree with VU Amsterdam, offers education and training from researchers of one of Europe's leading institutes in this challenging and exciting field.

Stochastics and Financial Mathematics
The Stochastics and Financial Mathematics programme of the University of Amsterdam is a research oriented two-year Master's programme in mathematics offering courses at a high mathematics level. Its close ties with the financial and consultancy sector in Amsterdam are unique in the Netherlands.

Chemistry
The Chemistry programme of the University of Amsterdam is a joint degree with Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and provides you with a highly qualified background of theory and practice in chemistry and sufficient specialisation in a specific field.

Science for Energy and Sustainability (Chemistry)
The Chemistry - Science for Energy and Sustainability programme of the University of Amsterdam is an two-year interdisciplinary track within the Master's programmes Chemistry and Physics and Astronomy. It combines ‘hard’ scientific research with the analysis of societal issues, business models and government regulations.

Ecology and Evolution (Biological Sciences)
The aim of the Biological Sciences - Ecology and Evolution programme of the University of Amsterdam is to promote understanding of the relationships between living organisms, the evolution of species and the function of ecosystems, in order to contribute to more sustainability on earth.

Freshwater and Marine Biology (Biological Sciences)
Aquatic ecosystems teem with organisms, ranging from tiny phytoplankton and zooplankton to fish and whales. Unfortunately, aquatic ecosystems are also used as ‘dumping grounds' for much of society's waste and are affected by global change. In the Biological Sciences - Freshwater and Marine Biology programme of the University of Amsterdam these topics are investigated from different perspectives.

Mathematics
In this two-year, research-based Mathematics programme at the University of Amsterdam you deepen your mathematical knowledge by specialising in a mathematical area of your interest. You may also study related disciplines such as Physics, Logic, Econometrics and Computational Science from a mathematical perspective.

Advanced Matter and Energy Physics (Physics and Astronomy)
The two-year track Physics and Astronomy - Advanced Matter and Energy Physics (AMEP) from the University of Amsterdam, is among the best experimental physics programmes in the world. It offers you challenging courses and research opportunities in hot topics in laboratories around the world and prepares you for an exciting career in research.

Green Life Sciences (Biological Sciences)
The Biological Sciences - Green Life Sciences programme from University of Amsterdam focuses on the interaction of plants with their abiotic and biotic environment. You will study fundamental and applied aspects of molecular biology, cell biology, chemical ecology, physiology, biotechnology, plant breeding, phytopathology and the plant microbiome.

Molecular Sciences (Chemistry)
The Chemistry - Molecular Sciences programme of the University of Amsterdam, a joint degree programme with the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, covers areas in chemistry that traditionally are associated with organic and inorganic chemistry, catalysis, physical chemistry and theoretical chemistry.

Physics and Astronomy
The MSc in Physics and Astronomy at UvA explores fundamental questions about the universe, bridging theory and real-world applications. You will develop advanced analytical, empirical and computational skills, with opportunities to specialise in fields from complex systems to astroparticle physics.

Quantum Computer Science
The Quantum Computer Science course from University of Amsterdam will suit you if you have a strong taste for physics, mathematics or computer science.

Evolution of Behaviour and Mind (Biological Sciences)
Are you interested in research on the behaviour of primates and other animals? Or work on the origins of Homo sapiens? With the Evolution of Behaviour and Mind programme from University of Amsterdam, learn more about the origins of behaviour and the mind from the integrative perspective of biology, psychology, anthropology, and other sciences.

Logic
The Logic programme of the University of Amsterdam enjoys a strong international reputation as an excellent research training programme. Graduates of the programme frequently move on to become key players in the international logical research community.

Science for Energy and Sustainability (Physics and Astronomy)
Science for Energy and Sustainability (SfES) is an interdisciplinary track within the UvA Master's programmes Chemistry and Physics and Astronomy. The Physics and Astronomy - Science for Energy and Sustainability programme is offered by University of Amsterdam.

Analytical Sciences (Chemistry)
In the Chemistry - Analytical Sciences programme of the University of Amsterdam, you will focus purely on aspects of analytical chemistry, such as modern analytical techniques, general concepts and strategies for analysis and various application fields.
