Programme of Science in Society
Master specific requirements SiS for Biology
The Master's specialisation in Science in Society consists of two years.
Formally, during the first year of your master, you will follow the courses and activities belonging to the Biology programme. In the second year you start with the courses and activities attributed to the SMI. These courses you will follow with students from the entire faculty who are enrolled in this specialisation.
In practice, however, your personal planning may deviate from this. Please contact your student advisor if you need advice on planning.
The following Biology-specific components are part of the programme when you take the Master's specialisation in Science, Management and Innovation within the Master's in Biology:
a. Courses in Biology (15 EC)
You have to follow a set of courses that match the compulsory courses for one of the thematic specialisations:
- Adaptive Organisms
- Communities and Ecosystems
- Water and Environment
- Microbiology (choose 15 out of the 18 EC)
b. Science internship (33 EC)
Your science internship has to be done under supervision of one of the examinators of the IWWR, with one of the following chairs:
- Animal Ecology and Ecophysiology
- Aquatic Ecology and Environmental Biology
- Environmental Science
- Experimental Plant Ecology
- Ecological Microbiology
- Molecular Interaction Ecology
- Molecular Plant Physiology
- Organismal Animal Physiology
- Mechanisms of Inflammatory Diseases
