Physics and Education
The Physics and Education MSc programme at Leiden University prepares you for a career as a teacher in secondary schools. After completion, you obtain the qualifications to be a physics teacher.
Physics and Science Communication and Society
The Physics and Science Communication and Society MSc programme at Leiden University focuses on the interaction between science and society.

Chemistry
The Chemistry programme from Leiden University is designed to let you follow your interest: focus on Chemistry for Health or Chemistry for Sustainability, and prepare yourself for a job as a researcher, a teacher, a communicator, or for a position in science-based business.

Microbiology
Focus on the functioning of microorganisms and their potential to improve our health and the environment. This includes applications such as energy-efficient waste management or new vaccines. You will gain extensive experience in microbial research in this Microbiology programme at Radboud University.
Research in Physics, Quantum Matter and Optics
This Research in Physics, Quantum Matter and Optics MSc programme connects to the Leiden University research programme on quantum optics and quantum matter. You will learn how fascinating material properties emerge from a combination of quantum mechanical confinement, electron-electron interaction, and/or the electron spin property.

Biomolecular Sciences
Are you interested in the molecular mechanisms behind major health problems, such as cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s? What about their impact on antibiotics or food production? Yes? Then this Biomolecular Sciences MSc programme offered at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is for you.

Applied Nanotechnology
The Applied Nanotechnology M.Sc Programme from Saxion University of Applied Sciences is unique in the Netherlands. The most distinguishing feature is its focus on the development of innovative micro- and nanotechnology-based products and applications.
Astronomy
The Astronomy MSc programme from Leiden University trains students to become experts in various fields of astronomy. We offer seven challenging specialisations, all of which can be tailored to suit your specific interests and ambitions. This will prepare you for a wide variety of careers within academia, industry and the public sector.
Life Science and Technology - Life Science Research and Development Specialisation
The majority of the students from the The Life Science and Technology - Life Science Research and Development Specialisation from Leiden University continue their career in a PhD position.

Economics
Develop expertise in devising solutions to real-world problems together with students from all over the world. Society faces several pressing challenges, including biodiversity loss, climate change, poverty, inequality and anti-democratic tendencies. Tilburg University offers the Economics programme.
Nanotechnology
The MSc in Nanotechnology at University of Twente (UT) has a strong focus on the fabrication and characterisation of (functional) nanostructures. It also has a strong research component. This combination will give you the perfect preparation for a career as a researcher.

Biology and Science Communication and Society
The Biology and Science Communication and Society MSc programme at Leiden University focuses on the interaction between science and society.

Life Science and Technology
Students of the Life Science and Technology at Leiden University specifically learn to understand the molecular and structural chemical and biological aspects of disease-related processes and to apply chemical and biotechnological tools to treat diseases.
Applied Mathematics
During your 2-year Master's programme at University of Groningen you will be embedded in one of the Applied Mathematics research groups of your choice.

Bioinformatics and Systems Biology
The Bioinformatics and Systems Biology programme at the Wageningen University and Research was developed to cope with the output of genome sequencing initiatives, that result in an ever-increasing amount of data available about DNA (public databases currently contain over 100 Gigabases of DNA), RNA and derived proteins.
Theoretical Physics
The research Master’s degree programme in Theoretical Physics at Utrecht University opens the door to exploring the wonders of physics, from the smallest scales of elementary particles to the vast reaches of the universe.
Earth, Life and Climate
In the Earth, Life and Climate programme at Utrecht University, you will explore the fundamental processes which regulate the past, present, and future dynamics of sedimentary systems, biodiversity, and climate, as well as their evolution.
