Study Health Sciences in Europe

This master's program focuses on applying engineering principles to improve human health through biological, biomedical, and biotechnological approaches. It offers a strong foundation in physiology, biomedical systems, biomaterials, medical imaging, tissue engineering, and pharmaceutical production. Students can tailor their learning through elective modules in areas such as data analysis, biomechanics, biosensors, bioelectronics, and rehabilitation engineering. The curriculum includes interdisciplinary coursework, a research project, an industrial internship, and a master’s thesis. The program equips graduates for careers in the medical device industry, pharmaceutical and biotech sectors, or academic and clinical research.

To apply for this master's program, candidates must hold an academic bachelor’s degree in engineering—such as bioscience, biomedical, civil, or electrical engineering—or a related degree with substantial coursework in mathematics, statistics, physics, biology, and physiology. The degree must be obtained from a recognized institution with at least a second class upper or equivalent. English proficiency is required unless the applicant completed a full English-taught program in Australia, English-speaking Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK, or the USA. Accepted test scores are a minimum of 18/30 per component for TOEFL iBT, 6.0 per component for IELTS Academic, or 170 per component for Cambridge CAE/CPE. Applicants educated outside the Flemish Community must submit their application through the central admissions office.

​This bachelor's degree is a four-year program totaling 240 ECTS credits. The curriculum covers foundational subjects such as Attention and Perception, Fundamentals of Psychobiology, and Personality Psychology. Advanced topics include Neuropsychology, Psychopathology, and Cognitive Techniques and Behavior Modification. Students can choose specialized electives in areas like Health Psychology, Educational Psychology, and Neuropsychology. The program also incorporates practical training through work placements and culminates with a Final Year Project.

To be admitted to this degree, applicants must demonstrate a B2 level of English, proven through a recognized language certificate (others may be evaluated individually). Additional required documents include a valid passport scan, high school diploma and transcript, national exam results, a statement of purpose or motivational letter, and a CV.

This flexible, fully online master's degree deepens expertise in occupational therapy, research methodology, and leadership, preparing students for specialist roles, development work, and doctoral study within an international learning environment. It equips students to critically analyze, develop, and lead occupational therapy practice across diverse contexts, while examining how socio-cultural and intersectional factors shape people's health from an occupational perspective. Students study co-production in health and welfare and team collaboration within changing organizations, and interact throughout with students from other disciplines and countries, building multicultural and interprofessional communication and collaboration skills.

The first year combines a course in the theory of science and scientific method with foundational occupational therapy coursework spanning theory, evidence-based practice, and the occupational perspective of health, along with an interdisciplinary course introducing artificial intelligence in health and welfare; this half concludes with a 15-credit independent thesis. The second year builds on this with coursework in team collaboration within changing organizations, co-production in health and welfare, research design and ethics, and advanced occupational therapy theory and evidence-based practice, concluding with a second 15-credit independent thesis, for 30 credits of independent research in total; students may build on their first thesis topic in the second or choose a different one, or may alternatively complete a single combined 30-credit thesis. Teaching combines lectures, seminars, workshops, group projects, and digital discussion, assessed through written reports, projects, and oral presentations, and the degree can be completed full-time in 2 years or part-time in 4 years; there is no clinical internship within the program, though evidence-based and community-based practice coursework involves applying practical skills.

Graduates gain in-depth knowledge of sustainable, evidence-based practice applicable across settings such as government sectors, home health care, hospitals and rehabilitation centers, occupational health care, private practice, schools, and social care, and are prepared for specialist clinical roles, leadership positions, quality development, and project management. The degree also opens the door to doctoral study in occupational therapy, rehabilitation, or related fields, and for occupational therapists already practicing in Sweden, can support further specialization within the field.

Applicants must hold at least a bachelor's degree in occupational therapy, equivalent to 180 ECTS credits from an accredited university, or the equivalent; proof of English proficiency is also required.

Applications can be submitted either through the university's own direct application system, where admission is processed on a rolling basis, or through Sweden's central university admissions system, where selection is based on previous academic merits and ranked in descending order.

To be awarded the degree, students must complete at least 120 credits at the graduate level, including 60 credits in occupational therapy, comprising either two 15-credit thesis courses or one combined 30-credit thesis, along with all other mandatory coursework or its equivalent.

This bachelor's program in genomics integrates biology, chemistry, data science, and bioinformatics. Students begin with molecular biology, genetics, statistics, and programming. They progress to advanced topics such as genomics, metabolomics, and algorithms for biological data. Third-year courses focus on structural biology, complex traits, AI ethics, and biological networks. Electives include medical and viral genomics, synthetic microbiology, and internships. The program emphasizes both lab work and computational skills for careers in life sciences.

Applicants must have a secondary school diploma valid for university access in Italy or an equivalent foreign qualification. A solid foundation in mathematics, logic, and science is required, along with English proficiency at B2 level. Admission is based on the TOLC-I test (in English or Italian), assessing math, science, verbal comprehension, and logic. If minimum standards are not met, students receive Additional Learning Requirements to complete in their first year.
Tuition fees for EU students vary from €157 to €3,000/year depending on income. Non-EU students typically pay €1,200/year.
