Biology (MBI) / MSc

MSc Common part


Common Part

Dutch students who opt for getting the first degree teaching licence in Biology may choose in consultation and agreement with the study advisor RO1B; others choose RO1A
Choose in consultation with your study advisor an internship from RO2; students who opt for getting a first degree teaching licence in Biology do not have to do an internship, instead they incorporate their courses at the IVLOS in their MSc programme.
