Why this programme

In the exciting and multidisciplinary field of regenerative medicine, you learn to design and develop medical therapies, products and devices for research and clinical use in regenerative medicine. The fields of science (biology, chemistry, data science), engineering (mathematics, physics, materials), medicine (physiology, anatomy) and entrepreneurship are well represented in the curriculum.

Strong cooperation with MUMC+

Regenerative Medicine and Technology is remarkable for its close collaboration with the Maastricht University Medical Centre and professionals from the industry. You work on real-world problems brought to you by clinicians and/or the industry. In addition to courses and research projects, you receive training in laboratory skills aligned with the content of your courses and work on a set of academic and professional competences which prepare you for your future career.

A better and more sustainable tomorrow

You design methods that allow the body to repair itself by conducting research and applying state-of-the-art technologies. For many patients this offers an excellent alternative to organ and tissue transplants and sometimes also life-long medication. Help eradicate some of the common chronic diseases like diabetes, arthritis and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) as well as various cardiovascular conditions. This not only contributes to a better life quality for patients, but in the long run also helps keep the health costs down.

Building bridges

You build bridges between science, technology, healthcare and health. Moreover, you develop yourself as a professional and learn how to speak the different languages of various experts and how to market your regeneration-based solutions.

Join Study Association Helix

Helix is the study association for Biomedical Sciences and Regenerative Medicine and Technology. Join their diverse events like excursions, camps, and galas throughout the year. Prioritise education with exam prep pub quizzes, company visits, and Student Evaluation Panels to enhance courses for the future.
