The MSc Systems Biology provides you with the necessary knowledge about the cornerstones of this field of study: mathematics and biology. You will learn to model biological systems in order to understand their functions, predict their behaviour and plan new, valuable experiments. Cutting-edge research in molecular imaging, neurobiology, cardiovascular diseases or cancer cannot be done without the aid of systems biologists. The MSc Systems Biology will fully prepare you to take on your expert role in these exciting and important sectors, driving advances in human biology and health. Our mission is to train interdisciplinary scientists who have a broad view of biological systems, with a focus on: biomedical and human healthcare applications.

Research-Based Learning
- We do more than teach you about existing scientific theories
- You will work on current scientific research problems
- During projects, you conduct your own research, collaborating with other scientists and researchers
Problem-Based Learning
- You collaborate in small tutorial groups of around 10-15 students
- You have fewer lectures and more hands-on training, tackling real-life scientific challenges
- This active method of learning is supervised by a tutor or lecturer
objectives
The MSc Systems Biology prepares you to take on an expert role in the field of human biology and health. The multidisciplinary nature of the programme provides you with a solid scientific basis in biology, mathematics and computational science in relation to systems biology. Your selection of electives will further allow you to connect disciplines and gain relevant technical and soft skills. After graduation, you will be ready to pursue a career in a wide variety of fields where bridging biology and mathematics plays a key role. You’re able to understand biological systems, model them and predict their behaviour. You will also have the knowledge and skills to design innovative experimental strategies for a wide array of applications in biology and life sciences.

You will also have the knowledge and skills to design innovative experimental strategies for a wide array of applications in biology and life sciences.
This expertise is not only highly sought after, but also relevant for a wide range of careers in:
- any research institute focused on modelling the human body and diseases using patient data obtained in laboratories or imaging departments that need a systems biologist to extract biologically relevant information from their experiments
- small and medium enterprises (SME) that focus on innovative product, technology or process development, especially related to human biology and health
- academic multidisciplinary research groups involved in life science research generating big data, like omics research
- pharmaceutical companies or medicine agencies who need data scientists to evaluate drugs
- healthcare-related institutes like centres for disease control that model the prevalence and incidence of diseases
- healthcare providers, such as hospitals, that perform research on human health
