Biology (BBI) / BSc

BSc Common part


Common Part

Third year students should have passed all courses of the first two years (except one course) before starting with the BSc-thesis in the second period of their third year. Other students should have completed all courses of the common part of the BSc Biology and all courses of one of the majors (except one course of the common part or the major) or have passed a minimum of 150 ects before starting. Students should meet these requirements at the time of admission for the BSc-thesis.
RO1: Choose MAT-14803 Mathematics 1 if you did Math A at VWO; choose MAT-15303 Statistics 1 if you did Math B at VWO
