Beschreibung des Programms

Biomedical Sciences

Do you know what you should eat before a soccer match, and more importantly, why you should eat it? Would you like to know why one cell is susceptible to a disease and another one isn't? The bachelor’s program Biomedical Sciences completely revolves around sickness and health. Whether you choose to specialize in the molecular processes in a cancer cell or would like to know more about exercise programs for people with obesity; the program offers a solid foundation for a successful future. You could - for example - become a researcher at a pharmaceutical company that develops new medication, or a physiologist at a university. Please be aware that the application deadline for Biomedical Sciences if you want to start in the next academic year is 15 January.

Numerus fixus, application deadline and selection procedure

From academic year 2023-2024 onwards, the bachelor Biomedical Sciences is a program with an educational fixus. This means that not everybody who qualifies for admission will automatically be offered a place. The application deadline to start with Biomedical Sciences in September 2023 is 15 January 2023. If your diploma or degree is not on the list of European previous application Maastricht University has to assess on an individual basis whether your previous education makes that you qualify for admission. This assessment takes extra time. Therefore, if your diploma is not on the list, please apply as early as posible, preferably before 1 November 2022. Please check your diploma on our website .

The fixus of Biomedical Sciences is introduced to guarantee the quality of education. There are 400 places for the bachelor Biomedical Sciences in 2023-2024. This means that, provided that you seriously partake in all parts of the online selection, you stand a realistic chance of acquiring a place.

Informationen über das Institut

The Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences started on 1 January 2007. The faculty was the result of a merger between the Faculty of Health Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine.

Medicine

The Faculty of Medicine was the first faculty to be established at Maastricht University. The University was officially established on the 9th of January 1976, although the first medical students began their studies in September 1974. The Faculty of Medicine was the second in the world that applied the Problem-Based Learning method. The other faculties of Maastricht University , i.e. Arts and Culture, Economics and Business Administration, General Sciences, Health Sciences, Law, and Psychology adopted educational systems and research organisations akin to that of the Faculty of Medicine.

The Faculty developed into a community with a staff of around 1200 (academics, administrative and support staff), and approximately 1950 medical students. Since 1992 staff and students are based at the complex of buildings of the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, Faculty of Psychology, and the University Hospital (Academisch Ziekenhuis Maastricht) which opened in 1991.

Health Sciences

The Faculty of Health Sciences offered a broad range of disciplines that made the faculty unique, not only in the Netherlands but also in Europe. The format allowed students to integrate their discipline and research work into all areas related to society, sickness and health. By way of research and specific (undergraduate and postgraduate) education, the Faculty of Health Sciences contributed to the quality improvement in healthcare.

At the moment the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences has some 2,500 students enrolled in its broad spectrum of educational programmes leading to a Bachelor's and/or Master's degree. Health Sciences examines the relationship between health, lifestyle, disease prevention, care and cure. The Health Sciences curriculum covers the entire field of health sciences: biological, behavioural and social health sciences. Three questions take centre stage throughout the course:

1) What is health? 2) Which factors influence health? 3) How can we influence these factors?

To ensure a good quality of health care not only doctors are needed, but nurses and paramedics are also important, too. But also the expertise of other professionals is essential: the health scientists.
