50 Master's degrees offered by the university

Physics
The Physics programme from Leiden University offers you a research intensive tailor-made study path on current topics in experimental and theoretical physics at an institute of international renown.
Bioinformatics
The Bioinformatics MSc programme at Leiden University integrates concepts and methods from both mathematics and computer science with (molecular) biology and biochemistry.
Technical Medicine - Sensing and Stimulation
In order to optimize treatment, it is necessary to closely monitor and manage the patient’s health status by means of ‘precision diagnostics and targeted therapy’. The Sensing and Stimulation MSc programme at Leiden University combines the techniques and applications of these sensing (monitoring) and stimulation techniques.
Research in Physics, theoretical
Theoretical Physics is at the core of our scientific enquiry into the fundamental properties of the physical world. It aims to describe and understand a broad range of physical phenomena through a variety of analytical concepts and methods, and by encoding them into mathematical language. Apply to the Research in Physics, theoretical MSc programme at Leiden University.
Life Science and Technology - Life Science and Science Communication and Society Specialisation
Life Science and Technology - Life Science and Science Communication and Society Specialisation from Leiden University offers students the opportunity to combine life science research training with programmes in different aspects of science communication, such as journalism, new media, museology and information visualisation.
Air and Space Law (Advanced LL.M.)
Which laws govern the commercial use of outer space? Are States responsible for mitigating space debris? Who is liable for accidents that happen onboard an the aircraft? Learn how to deal with questions like these from both an international and a European perspective. Apply to this Air and Space Law (Advanced LL.M.) programme at Leiden University.
