Study programme Bachelor's Biology year 2

Study year
2

You spend the first two periods of the second year finishing the general phase. In the last two periods, course content becomes more specialised and there is a lot of freedom of choice. You can choose a domain specialisation and add courses from other domains. This means you can create a programme that fits your interests. You can choose courses from all fields of biology and medical biology.
