Upon completion of the programme, you will be trained to perform RMT-related research, predominantly in the lab. As a consequence, you could for example then start a PhD project, work in biomedical consultancy or in R&D.
If you choose to pursue an academic career, a logical step will be to start a PhD project after you obtain your Master’s degree. Our research projects during RMT will prepare you for science in the lab, but you will also be equipped to perform more translational research. After obtaining a PhD degree, you can choose to continue in academia or to continue your career elsewhere. Continuing in academia consists of doing post-doc work and becoming an assistant, associate, or full professor.
Depending on your personal interests and skills, you can shape your career yourself. If you already know which would be your ideal career, you can discuss with the programme coordinator how best to prepare for your specific career path. Possible career paths are:
- PhD student in the RM PhD programme in Utrecht. You can pursue a PhD degree in Utrecht in the field of Regenerative Medicine. Of course, it is also possible to continue your career anywhere in the world.
- Educational coordinator at a university.
- Junior consultant at a large biomedical company that markets biological implants.
- Junior scientist working in R&D of a small company that specialises in processing and storing stem cells. Junior scientists try to improve cell handling protocols and find new applications of the product.
Our programme is directly linked to the PhD programme Regenerative Medicine(link is external) of the Graduate School of Life Sciences.
