BSc Medicine Add to shortlist

Programme profile

Over 35,000 medical doctors have been trained in Groningen: its BSc and MSc degree programmes have received very positive feedback from students, educational experts and quality assessment boards.

Although all students will acquire the same basic medical knowledge and skills, they will expand their knowledge by opting to study in one of the Learning Communities themes [specialisations]: Global Health, Sustainable Care, Intramural Care and Molecular Medicine. On completing the Bachelor’s programme, all students will be presented with the same degree, ensuring they are all eligible for the Master’s programme.

The following two specialisations are currently available through English:

In the Global Health specialisation, students look at questions such as: How can you identify the most important health problems in the world, or those in a certain country? Why does the number of tuberculosis patients differ from region to region? Which people are most at risk on each continent, and what effect does that have on preventing and treating this disease? How people regard and cope with illness is partly culturally determined – what does this mean when dealing with patients and colleagues with a different cultural background?

In the Molecular Medicine specialisation, students study the molecular basis of diseases and the related methods for diagnosis and therapy. The most recent technological possibilities will be used to design future solutions. So, if you are curious about the molecular causes of diseases, and how this knowledge is eventually translated into treatment for patients, then this specialisation is for you.

Graduates of this programme may continue with the Master of Medicine programme of the University of Groningen (taught through Dutch ). Completion of the Master's programme qualifies graduates to register as medical doctors in all EU member states
