The Master's in Medicine with Industrial Specialisation at Aalborg University is a two-year, English-taught programme worth 120 ECTS. It sits where medicine meets industry: biotechnology, quality assurance, clinical testing and pharmaceutical production. You learn basic medical science, anatomy and physiology with an industrial and research focus, and you choose one of three profiles: Biomedicine, Translational Medicine or Medical Market Access.

What you study

The courses are taught in English and give you a grounding in the main areas of the programme. The profile you pick decides the topics you cover:

• Biomedicine: Molecular pathogenesis, Genomics, Proteomics and bioinformatics in disease and diagnostics, Regulatory and ethical aspects of clinical research, Immuno- and molecular therapy and Regenerative medicine.
• Translational Medicine: Genomics, Proteomics and bioinformatics in disease and diagnostics, Current research topics in modern pharmacology, Economics of health and health care, Regulatory and ethical aspects of clinical research, Immuno- and molecular therapy, Perspectives of clinical trials in drug and Medical device development.
• Medical Market Access: Quality development and patient safety, Principles of marketing and marketing management, Regulatory and ethical aspects of clinical research, Economics of health technologies and technology assessment, Non-experimental research design and analysis.

You also work on projects that centre on practice-oriented problems, often in groups with fellow students. In your final year there are no courses, only project work. You can write that project within a research environment at Aalborg University, during a study stay at a university hospital abroad, or in collaboration with a company.

How the programme is organised

The programme is a mix of courses and problem-based project work. Courses come first, then the final year is dedicated to your project. The teaching is in English throughout. Group work is central: you and your fellow students dig into the exact area you are passionate about, combining skills from the three subjects in the context of specific issues and your professional interests.

Who it suits

This master's is for you if you want to work with stem cells and tissue reconstruction, clinical and preclinical testing of medicine, or the interaction between marketing and health economics. It suits students who like the idea of identifying society's needs for new treatments, weighing health economic effects, and working within the ethical and research-based frameworks for medical trials. You should be comfortable with group projects and with taking responsibility for your own learning.
