Masters students also have the opportunity to take part in cutting-edge research and to enjoy its associated excitement and challenges. The NKI-AVL is happy to receive Masters students from universities and HLO schools for rotation projects. University students may undertake projects in the institute provided they have obtained a Bachelor’s degree with a major in Biology, Medical Biology, Medicine, Pharmacy, Chemistry, or a closely related subject. In addition, the Division of Psychosocial Research and Epidemiology takes students with relevant theoretical backgrounds. Students with a background in informatics and/or physics can also join the research facilities or the Division of Radiotherapy. English language is the teaching medium in daily practice. Every Masters student who does a project in the institute in the area of Biology/Medicine/Chemistry for more than 4 months is obliged to pursue a course and examination in experimental oncology.
Masters students interested in rotation projects are invited to make direct contact with a research group at the NKI, or contact the dean of Master Education (onderwijscoördinator), Prof. Dr. Jannie Borst (email: j.borst@nki.nl, university students) or Dr. John Hilkens (email: j.hilkens@nki.nl, HLO students). Information about clinical training is supplied by the heads of the clinical divisions or by the coordinator for medical students, Prof. Dr. Fons Balm (email: a.balm@nki.nl).
