University of Groningen

BSc in Life Science and Technology

Kunnen we uit cellen nieuwe organen genereren? Hoe werken biologische moleculen zoals eiwitten en DNA? Vraagt u zich af in hoeverre het mogelijk is om met behulp van biotechnologie betere medicijnen, enzymen of voedsel te produceren?

In this degree program in Life Science and Technology, you will learn how to find answers to questions like these. This degree program combines elements from a variety of disciplines, including biology, pharmacy, physics, chemistry, and engineering. You will learn how to use this knowledge to create medical applications that make people better or improve their quality of life.

Our students and researchers study the intricate details of living organisms but also try to build life-like systems from molecules that are not alive. If we are able to build such a synthetic cell we will understand the requirements for life much better, and we might be able to use these cells as factories for new bio-molecules. These are just a few examples of the things we explore. By the time you start this program, numerous other new research projects will undoubtedly have started up. You’re bound to find something that arouses your interest.
