Education at a world class research institute
Building on this tradition, we perform physics research and provide physics education at the highest level.
Therefore you can expect excellent education and cutting edge research in Physics during your master's programme..
The main aim of biophysics is to understand biological systems, while the aim of bioengineering is to make practical devices..
The Leiden Institute of Physics is located in the Oort and Huygens buildings, which are connected by a glass corridor.
These buildings also house the Leiden Observatory and the Lorentz Center for international workshops.
You can park in the parking garage on the Ehrenfestweg.
This is a paid parking garage..
Medical Applications
Biophysics has been essential to the development of many life-saving treatments and devices including kidney dialysis, radiation therapy, cardiac defibrillators, pacemakers, and artificial heart valves..
The Biophysics course is intended for MSc and Ph.D. students.
The course complements the material covered in the Physics of Life series of the BSc Physics program.
Prior knowledge in Biophysics and/or completion of the latter is not strictly required to participate.
The grade will be based on homework (20%) and a research proposal (80%) to be written on a topic provided (deadline end of January).
Further, regular participation and own presentations are required.
You will be able to explain the physical principles underlying the many facets of modern biological physics, as well as an appreciation of their biological context.
In your explanation you will put extra emphasis on the analysis of experimental techniques and their results.
In the proposal you will be able to demonstrate command of the specialized .
During this course you will obtain an understanding of the principles underlying a diverse selection of modern biological physics.
Introductory lectures are combined with presentations by yourself on contemporary literature that relates to the topics in the syllabus.
The final assignment is a written proposal on a topic chosen by you.
