MSc in Biofabrication
A multidisciplinary master’s programme combining 3D printing, biology, and medicine to engineer functional tissue models.
Best for:Best for students with a strong interdisciplinary background in biology, chemistry, engineering, or medicine who are passionate about innovative tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting technologies.
Overview
The MSc in Biofabrication at Utrecht University integrates advanced fabrication techniques with biological systems to create functional tissue constructs for tissue engineering, in vitro biological models, and medical therapies. This interdisciplinary programme spans chemistry, physics, biology, medicine, robotics, and computer science, preparing students for cutting-edge research in a field that demands expertise across diverse scientific domains. Students complete coursework at Utrecht University and UMC Utrecht, followed by a research project in Australia at either Queensland University of Technology or the University of Wollongong, both leaders in biofabrication and biomaterial 3D printing. The programme is supported by EU-subsidised mobility funding, enabling international collaboration and research exposure.
