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.

Transatlantic Studies - History, Culture and Politics
Are Transatlantic relations in a crisis? Which values and interests connect or divide us? This interdisciplinary program pursues such questions, combining the historical and contemporary, the political and cultural, and the theoretical and practical.

Spatial Planning - Urban and Regional Mobility
Are you interested in increasingly complex flows of people and goods in the networked city and region? This Master's specialisation will prepare you for dealing with integrated mobility systems and transport modes across spatial scales.

Economics - Economics, Behaviour and Policy
Making (economic) policy smarter and effective as advisor, policy maker or manager? Introducing psychology, political science and sociology in governmental and non-governmental policy design will bridge the gap between theory and practice.

Political Science - Diversity and Inequality in Politics
Understanding how gender, race, ethnicity, class, religion and other identities intersect with power structures is key to addressing pressing societal issues such as discrimination, unequal representation, economic disparities, and violent conflicts. Learn to critically analyse these domestic and global dynamics and develop viable solutions to foster more inclusive political and social systems.

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.

Economics - International Economics and Development
Get ready to contribute to global sustainable and inclusive development. Prepare to tackle today’s challenges, from poverty and inequality to green production and climate-resilient livelihoods, using state-of-the-art analytical tools and methods.

Spatial Planning
Spatial planners are fascinated by on-going and future changes in cities and regions and take on the role as managers of spatial transformations - think of: regenerating shopping districts or old industrial sites; designating water retention areas; shaping urban mobility concepts for the future. Related challenges vary in scale, from individual property to strategic policy making.

Software Science
Software plays a role in almost every aspect of our daily lives and in every organisation across the globe. This Software Science specialisation from Radboud University focuses on analysing and testing of code in order to both improve and simplify it.

Business Administration - Innovation and Entrepreneurship
You will come to understand how and why organisations innovate and what challenges entrepreneurs face when starting their business in a changing environment.
