MA/MS in Biofabrication

The programme centres on creating functional tissue models through 3D printing, combining advanced fabrication methods with biological systems to produce designed tissue constructs that can serve tissue engineering, act as 3D in vitro biological models, or become medical therapeutic products. Biofabrication draws on robotics, computer science, chemistry, physics, biology, and medicine, demanding a breadth of training that few researchers entering the field already have. Coursework is completed at Utrecht University and UMC Utrecht, where the first year is largely taken up by a research project, while the second year adds a further 60 EC research project carried out in Australia, at either Queensland University of Technology or the University of Wollongong, supported financially by a European Union mobility scheme for these overseas placements.
