UCM Life Sciences

Are you interested in doing medical research? A Science concentration at UCM offers you the opportunity to enroll in several research master's programs in the medical field. If you complete 90 ECTS of coursework in the Life Sciences, your bachelor’s degree (180 ECTS) will make you eligible to apply to highly selective master’s programs like the four-year Medical Doctor-Clinical Researcher (A-KO) program at Maastricht University - a very demanding, Dutch-language research master’s program focusing on the interface between medical practice and research. It will also allow you to take the MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test), which is required for entering a medical school in the US.
