Programme of Science in Society
The master specialisation 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 master Biology.
In your second year you will start with the courses and activities attributed to the SiS. These courses will be followed with students from the entire faculty who are following this specialisation.
In practice, however, your personal planning may deviate from this. Please contact your student advisor if you need advise on planning.
