The Master in Biology has a far-reaching impact on numerous areas within science and society. The research domain of biology itself is very broad, and covers the entire spectrum of life, its diversity and its formation at all the different organisation levels, ranging from a cell and ecosystem to the level of the biosphere. Current topics and challenges such as protection of endangered species, global change, nature management, sustainability, cloning of organisms, dangerous diseases and medical progress all have their roots in biology. Biology also contributes to numerous conceptual innovations that lead towards new disciplines such as molecular biology and biotechnology. Biology is an exciting and ever-evolving field of study thanks to its close interaction with a broad range of other disciplines such as chemistry, physics, informatics, Earth and environmental sciences.
The two-year Master's programme (120 credits) contains the following components:
The general course units prepare students for making an informed choice of major course units and their Master's dissertation.
In the first year of the Master's programme students choose one of three possible majors:
Their choice of major allows students to deepen their knowledge of one of the research areas in which Ghent University has expertise, or to continue with a profound training in education.
Students are stimulated to take elective courses from the existing majors, and can choose specific focus courses:
