The interfaculty programme of excellence ‘Honours Programme in Life Sciences: Breaking Frontiers’ selects each year about thirty outstanding bachelor students of the faculties of Veterinary Medicine, Pharmaceutical Sciences and Medicine and Health Sciences who deepen and extend themselves in scientific research for two years. This Honours Programme challenges the selected students to discover and develop their scientific thinking and scientific skills through a scientific research project (which includes a six- to eight-week research internship) and their attendance and participation in various scientific seminars which results in writing a scientific article and presenting a scientific poster.
