Health, Ageing and Society (MSc)

Medicine Students

Why consider the master's Health, Ageing and Society?

This master’s programme gives you the chance to broaden and deepen your knowledge—looking beyond your medical training to include the social and societal factors that impact health. The programme focuses on research and innovation, giving you the tools to explore any future academic path, including a PhD, while adding valuable knowledge that can improve your clinical practice.

With the ageing population becoming more important, you’ll learn how to approach patient care in a more complete way during your clinical rotations. Additionally, the new knowledge and diverse skills trainings during the master’s programme will enhance your personal and professional development, making you better equipped for your clinical rotations.

Last but not least, you can combine your HAS internship with your clinical internship ('wetenschapsstage').

Can you combine your Medicine academic internship (wetenschapsstage) with the Master's Health, Ageing and Society internship?

It is possible to combine your Health, Ageing and Society internship with your 16 weeks (LUMC) Medicine internship. In most cases you will do your 16 week Medicine internship on a HAS topic. Afterwards, you can get exemption for your HAS internship. If you are interested, let us know as soon as possible to discuss the possibilities. For more information you can contact our internship coordinator Carla Bakker via masterhas@lumc.nl.
