About Radboud University and the Faculty of Medical Sciences
The Netherlands are a very international, open minded country. We welcome international students and visitors from all over the world! Radboud University is a student-oriented university, where you can assure yourself of a top-flight education. In our educational approach individual responsibility, independence and small-sized classes are fundamental and student motivation is a key feature. You will participate in group-oriented education, using state of the art research facilities.
The faculty of medical sciences is set in the hospital, so your work translates directly to the clinic (bench to bedside research). Unique to our programmes is that each student has a personal mentor/tutor, to help you with your study programme and career perspectives.
Our faculty has a great reputation and strong links with research centres abroad, and our graduates are highly valued by research institutes and health-care organisations all over the world.
Both our Master’s programmes Molecular Mechanisms of Disease and Biomedical sciences have been rated best in their field in the Netherlands. Next to studying, there are many other things to do, as Nijmegen is a lovely student-city, teeming with life and Radboud’s sport centre is the best in the world according to students.
