Improved molecular knowledge of the mechanisms of processes in the cell can lead to better medicines and new or advanced methods for combating diseases. Our MSc students in Life Science and Technology (LST) 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. An attractive feature of the MSc LST at Leiden University is the great flexibility of the study programme, allowing students to tailor a programme based on their personal interests.
The emphasis of the LST programme is on motivating and encouraging students to work as young academics and develop to their full potential. Over the years, MSc LST courses have evolved along with LIC's research strategy and were adapted to developments in research areas at the forefront of life sciences. The two-year programme consists of 120 EC and offers four specialisations. Students spend 30 – 80 EC on research training projects, depending on their specialisation and use of electives.
