Computational Approaches to Disease, Signaling and Drug Targets

Admission & Application

When and how can you sign up?

Admission requirements
Admission criteria apply to this selection Minor (see Appendix 2 of the Education and Exam regulation BSc Programmes (OER)). The Minor CADSDT may be split into two parts of 15 EC as shown below, but courses cannot be taken separately as an elective course. This Minor as a whole is particularly suitable for students in Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biology, Biomedical Sciences, Bioinformatics and Life Science & Technology. Students in Mathematics, Informatics and Molecular Science & Technology with a strong interest in and basic knowledge of Biology are welcome to apply for Part 1 of the Minor.

For Part 1, students may be invited for an interview with the Minor coordinator; students may be asked to study selected parts of text books before the start of Part 1 of the Minor.

For Part 2, or the Minor as whole, students must have successfully completed the course 'Fysiologie van ADME' or an equivalent course. In addition, they must evidently have sufficient knowlegde in the area of genetics, cellular biochemistry and (bio)pharmacy; students may be invited for an interview with the Minor coordinator. Students may be asked to study selected parts of text books before the start of Part 2 of the Minor.

There are max. 7 places available for students who follow only a single 15 EC part of the Minor (e.g. either Part 1 ór Part 2), and the remaining 33 places are available for students who follow all courses of the Minor. Minimum/maximum capacity in total: 10/40.

Registration
This is a selection minor with early registration deadlines.

For TUD/EUR students a maximum of 5 places per university are available in the minor CADSDT.

In case you want to follow only Part 1 ór Part 2 (15 EC each), please do not register for the entire 30 EC minor. Students from Leiden University can register for Part 1 ór 2 via uSis, TUD and EUR students must register for Part 1 ór 2 via the Minor Coordinator. All students outside Leiden University, TUD or EUR should always apply via the Minor Coordinator.

Check Brightspace modules of Introduction to Computational Thinking and other courses of Part 1 for detailed schedules, incl. on campus activities and teaching platforms used.

Application start and deadline

Minors with admission requirements* & TU Delft, Erasmus, LDE, Leiden	2 April (13.00) until 15 April
Minors without admission requirements TU Delft, Erasmus University and LDE	15 May (13.00) until 31 May
Minors without admission requirements Leiden University	15 May (13.00) until 4 July

* A minor with admission requirements is a minor with a different selection procedure. You can check which minors have admission requirements in the Studiegids or on the website of TU Delft and Erasmus.
An overview with all relevant information about the minors can be found on this website.

Limited number of places

Every minor has a limited number of places. These are allocated on a first come, first served basis (with the exception of TU Delft and Erasmus minors with admission requirements*). So apply on time.

Reserved spots for LDE-students

Leiden University, Delft University of Technology and Erasmus University Rotterdam collaborate closely on a range of educational matters, thus making it easy to follow a minor at TU Delft or the Erasmus University. During the application period for Leiden students TU Delft and the Erasmus University reserve a third of their minor places for Leiden University students.

Maximum of one minor

You may only apply for one minor with admission requirements. You may only apply for one TUD/EUR/LDE minor. If you are placed on a waiting list, you may apply for another Leiden minor (without admission requirements). Please note: you can only follow one minor. Are you placed on two waiting lists? Deregister from one of the two minors and apply for a different one.

Application Process

Steps to take
Students of Leiden University, TU Delft and Erasmus University have to apply via EduXchange.

External students (from research universities as well as universities of applied sciences) can apply for just one of the Leiden minors. This is not done through eduXchange, but through the procedure described here.
