Master of Science in Plant Biotechnology
The Master of Science in Plant Biotechnology is an advanced one-year Master's programme for students with a background in biotechnology who want to shift their focus towards fundamental plant biotechnological research. The programme aims at providing answers to the complex questions of how we will deal with the growing demand for plant-derived products such as feed and food. In Ghent, state-of-the-art science meets industrial entrepreneurship at the largest agro-biotech campus in Europe.
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.
