Brain and Cognitive Sciences offers a broad selection of tracks that investigate all aspects of the field, from the molecule to the mind. The programme is unique in its interdisciplinary perspective.

The Master's programme Chemistry, a joint degree with Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, provides you with a highly qualified background of theory and practice in chemistry and sufficient specialisation in a specific field.

In the two-year track Analytical Sciences of the Master’s programme Chemistry from the UvA you will focus purely on aspects of analytical chemistry.

Molecular Simulation and Photonics at the UvA focuses on computational and photonic research of structure, dynamics and function in atomic, (bio)molecular and multi-scale systems.

Science for Energy and Sustainability (SES) is an two-year interdisciplinary track within the Master's programmes Chemistry and Physics and Astronomy at the UvA.

The Master's programme in Forensic Science distinguishes itself from most international Master's programmes in that it builds on a range of general science backgrounds, not on a specific forensic science Bachelor's programme.

Mathematics at the UvA is a vibrant and versatile field, in which the dividing line between theory and practice is often merely an illusion. It finds its way into unexpected applications, with new paths always waiting to be explored.

The Master's programme Physics and Astronomy at the UvA focuses both on fundamental research and its applications. It combines a broad understanding of physics and astronomy with in-depth knowledge of specific physics areas.

The two-year track Advanced Matter and Energy Physics in the Master’s programme Physics and Astronomy at the UvA, a joint degree with the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, is among the best experimental physics programmes in the world.

The two-year track Astronomy and Astrophysics at the UvA, a joint degree with the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, provides students with thorough training in both the observational and theoretical aspects of modern astronomy and astrophysics.

In the two-year track Biophysics and Biophotonics in the Master’s programme Physics and Astronomy at the UvA, a joint degree with the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, students will use the language of physics to explore the secrets of life processes.

The two-year track Gravitation, Astro-, and Particle Physics (GRAPPA) in the Master’s programme Physics and Astronomy stands at at the intersection of theoretical physics, experimental (astro)particle physics and astrophysics.

Science for Energy and Sustainability at the UvA is an interdisciplinary programme, covering topics from both physics and chemistry, and combining ‘hard’ scientific research with the analysis of societal issues, business models and government regulations.

The two-year track Theoretical Physics in the Master’s programme Physics and Astronomy at the UvA offers education and training from researchers of one of Europe's leading institutes in this challenging and exciting field.

Stochastics examines phenomena in which chance plays a central role. It can be subdivided into statistics, probability theory and stochastic operations research. The Master's programme trains students in the full depth and breadth of these fields, in both theory and application.
