Master of Science in Biochemistry and Biotechnology
The Master in Biochemistry and Biotechnology not only offers scientists a thorough knowledge of biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, cell biology and physiology but also the skills to use biochemical and biotechnological techniques on plants, animals or humans in a creative and inventive manner.
Open Days
Each spring there is a Graduation Fair. It consists of a job fair (with more than 200 different companies) and a postgrad/master fair.
For some programmes, there is a specific Open Day. If this is the case, you will find the date here (at the latest Feb 15th).

Flexible trajectories
Flexible trajectories refers to alternative ways of following our courses. It might mean that a course can be spread in time as to allow the combination of work and studying, or that students with special needs get the support they need to allow a successful study career.
An international experience
Going abroad with Erasmus is wide-spread and well-known. But getting an international experience is possible in many different ways.
