How is Computational Biomedicine structured?
The master's programme in Computational Biomedicine is studied over 2 years, and each academic year is divided into 2 semesters. There are opportunities for exchange stays and company projects during the programme, which combines bioscience with data science. Along the way, you delve into disciplines such as biostatistics, programming, epidemiological methods, and project planning.
In the semester overview below, you can see the structure of the programme in tabular form. On small screens, the overview is best viewed in landscape format.
Choices and options
In the Computational Biomedicine programme, you have the opportunity to shape your education through elective courses and project topics. You can also undertake a company project within a business or organisation to test your knowledge in practice.
Additionally, you have the option to go on an exchange programme and gain international experience.
In the 4th semester, you will complete your education with your master’s thesis.
