In this specialisation, you will work on improving health and environment, by studying, applying, and manipulating microorganisms. You will study the interface between fundamental, applied and medical microbiology.

As a Master’s student you will be part of a Microbiology research department that is at the forefront in the areas of environmental, medical, and molecular microbiology.

You will follow medical as well as general microbiology courses, enabling you to choose the topics that interest you the most. The research of the Microbiology department at Radboud University has been bestowed with the most prestigious science prizes, including three ERC Advanced Grants, a Spinoza Prize, and two Gravitation Grants.

You will be able to work with state-of-the-art bio-reactors, electron microscopy and mass spectroscopy equipment, and facilities for molecular methods. We offer internships at multiple related research institutes, such as the department of Ecological Microbiology, the department of pediatrics (Radboudumc), the department of Internal Medicine (Radboudumc) and the department of Medical Microbiology (Radboudumc).
