How does your body convert food into energy? What happens in the immune system when someone falls ill? How do you research new treatment methods for a disease like cancer?
During the Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, you will study in detail the processes that take place in the human body—both in sickness and in health.
Note: For enrolment in the 2026-2027 academic year, the Numerus Fixus will no longer apply. In addition, an exploration is currently taking place for changing the language of the programme from English to Dutch by academic year 2026-2027. A final decision has yet to be made for this measure. We hope to clarify this as soon as possible.
The application deadline for the academic year 2025-2026 has now passed. More information on the procedure of the Numerus Fixus 2025-2026 can be found on the Admission page.
