27 Master's degrees offered by the university

Cognitive Neuroscience (Research)
What happens in your brain when you act? How is this fascinating, complex ‘micro cosmos’ no bigger than half a football inside your skull organised? If these questions spark your interest, this Master's programme is for you!

Neurobiology
Would you like to understand the brain from a multidisciplinary point of view? In this Neurobiology course at Radboud University, you'll study the brain across spatial scales, from molecule to whole human brains.

Particle and Astrophysics
Particle physics and Astrophysics both use the laws of physics to study the universe. In this Particle and Astrophysics programme offered by Radboud University, you’ll dive into extreme worlds and unravel the inner workings of the universe from the smallest to the largest scales.

Crop Biotechnology and Engineering
Ready to help feed the world and make agriculture climate-resilient? The Master's programme Crop Biotechnology and Engineering at Radboud University and Maastricht University blends cutting-edge plant science with technologies like AI and robotics. Get all the tools you need to redesign and innovate smart greenhouse systems!

Molecular Chemistry
Molecular Chemistry is a creative science, which involves the synthesis of molecules with new biological or physical properties in order to meet scientific or societal challenges. The possibilities are endless!

Mathematics
The Mathematics programme at Radboud University allows you to build your own tailor-made programme and to specialise in a broad range of fields, within pure mathematics, applied mathematics and mathematical physics.

Neurophysics
Our brain has an information processing capacity that far exceeds modern supercomputers In this Neurophysics specialisation at Radboud University, we aim at unravelling the neuro-computational mechanisms of this fascinating system using experimental approaches and advanced theory.

Biology
Would you like to specialise in organismal stress adaptation? Or in ecosystem dynamics, so that you can contribute to species protection and nature recovery? You could also dive into environmental modelling or walk the line between biological and medical (micro)biology. Choose a specialisation to define your field of interest within Biology.

Physical Chemistry
This Physical Chemistry programme from Radboud University aims at unravelling the properties of molecules and materials in great detail, by developing theory and physical instrumentation for advanced spectroscopic experiments.

Microbiology
Focus on the functioning of microorganisms and their potential to improve our health and the environment. This includes applications such as energy-efficient waste management or new vaccines. You will gain extensive experience in microbial research in this Microbiology programme at Radboud University.

Cognitive Neuroscience - Language and Communication (Research)
The acquisition and comprehension of language are based on extremely complex cognitive processes which are not yet entirely understood. It’s these processes, and their biological underpinnings, that form psycholinguistics’ field of study and are the basis of the Cognitive Neuroscience - Language and Communication (Research) programme at Radboud University.

Medicinal Chemistry
Study all stages of drug development (discovery, design, development, targeted delivery), including the phases of drug activity relating to a drug’s formulation, analysis of its toxicity, and understanding of its pharmacokinetics and -dynamics with this Medicinal Chemistry course offered at Radboud University.

Science in Society
Are you concerned about what is going on in the world? Do you have an interest in people, policies, science and society? In this Science in Society programme from Radboud University, you study the relevance of science in society using theoretical principles and practical examples.

Medical Epigenomics
In this Medical Epigenomics course at Radboud University, you’ll look at a cell as one big and complex system. You’ll study epigenetic mechanisms during development and disease from different angles. This includes studying DNA and RNA by next-generation sequencing (epigenomics) and analysing proteins by mass spectrometry (proteomics).

Adaptive Organisms
Become an expert in the molecular, cellular, and physiological processes behind stress adaptation in plants, animals and microorganisms. This research-oriented specialisation offers hands-on experience with cutting-edge techniques to prepare you for a career at the forefront of science and R&D.

Chemistry of Life
In this specialisation, you will focus on complex molecular systems in a biological context. You will learn how cells work from a chemist’s perspective and become an expert in the chemistry of all biologically relevant molecules.

Physics and Astronomy
Would you rather specialise in pure physics or discover the interface between physics & astronomy, mathematics, chemistry or biology? You choose! You can dive into theoretical physics or perform your own experiments with this Physics and Astronomy programme at Radboud University.

Medical Biology
Are you going to bridge the gap between early biomedical research results and clinical practice? Or would you rather study DNA, RNA and/or proteins in the laboratory? In this Medical Biology programme at Radboud University you will work to get a deep understanding of the mechanisms acting in human in health and disease at the molecular, cellular and system levels.

Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science
The Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science programme at Radboud University is all about understanding the fundamental mathematical concepts of computation and information, to explore the potentials of computer science.

Cognitive Neuroscience - Development and Lifelong Plasticity (Research)
The Cognitive Neuroscience - Development and Lifelong Plasticity (Research) Master's track at Radboud University studies the mechanistic underpinnings and behavioural consequences of long-term changes in neural structure and function.
