Programme of Science, Management and Innovation
The master specialisation Science, Management and Innovation consists of two years.
Formally, during the first year of your master, you will follow the courses and activities belonging to the master Biology.
In your 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 advise on planning.
The requirements for the programma of Biology consist of the following programme-specific components and associated work and study load:
