Cracking the code of living systems

Skilled in scientific research

If you successfully complete the programme, you will be in high demand. It is likely you’ll already find a job before you graduate. And in that job, you will extensively use the skills you acquired during the MSc programme.

Choose to work in the field of bioinformatics and systems biology like 60% of our graduates do. Or,  find a suitable job in closely related areas, such as biotechnology, data science, healthcare or finance. 

More than half of our students (60%) continue in scientific research as a PhD student. Thanks to technological advances, such as next-generation sequencing and the development of personalised medicine, your career prospects will only improve as you develop.

What can you do after your Master's degree?

Following a PhD programme

If you don't start working you can also decide to continue expanding your knowledge and apply for a PhD position.

Start working

With a Master’s degree in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, you are versatile. The qualities you have developed during the programme are relevant in many different positions, and you will have obtained many interdisciplinary and transferrable skills.
