About the FSTM

The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character.

The Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM) at the University of Luxembourg contributes multidisciplinary expertise in the fields of Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Life Sciences and Medicine. 
Through its dual mission of teaching and research, the FSTM seeks to generate and disseminate knowledge and train new generations of responsible citizens in order to better understand, explain and advance society and environment we live in.

The Department of Life Sciences and Medicine (DLSM) at the UL integrates basic and translational, biomolecular and computational research to address critical questions in human health and disease with a focus on cancer biology. Next to its research mission, DLSM coordinates all the Bachelor and Master programs in Life Sciences, Medicine and Nursing Sciences, shaping the next generation of healthcare professionals.

Collaborating with top national and international biomedical research institutions, DLSM is at the forefront of expanding health and medicine as a strategic priority for the University. This growth unlocks exciting opportunities to explore cutting-edge trends in biomedical research.
