The master programme Cardiovascular Health and Disease is a two-year research master that positions you at the cutting edge of the cardiovascular research field. You study the cardiovascular system in the broadest sense and learn to conduct cardiovascular-related research on a basic, translational, or (pre)clinical level.
Research projects, courses and writing assignments focus on different cardiovascular subjects, allowing you to gain experience in multiple labs. Examples of subjects covered are arrhythmias, vascular biology and disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathies, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors and prevention.
Societal challenges are incorporated in this master programme, such as diversity, health equity, development of animal-free models, prevention, and patient participation in cardiovascular research.
This programme allows you to become an expert in the cardiovascular research field in the first year. In the second year, you have the opportunity to either fully specialise yourself within a subdomain of cardiovascular research, or to broaden your horizon within the Life Sciences field.
