Programme
Overview
Students will finish the OEP Biology Master's program within 2 years: 3 semesters of study and 1 semester of master thesis. During the first 3 semester students have to collect 90 credit points (CP). In each semester there is one obligatory course, which is worth between 6 and 10 CP. The other courses are elective (3-12 CP). However, students have to finish at least 7 courses from the 'Core courses' program. Please keep in mind that the 4th time block will take place during the summer and winter holidays. Here, it is possible to visit more than one elective practical course during this time. Additional to the elective pratical courses there are combined lecturers and seminars in the morning and late afternoon, which are also worth 3-6 CP. Finally, in each semester students have the possibility to deepen their knowledge in 1 course, which will count additional 4 CP. This is a good opportunity to deepen the knowledge in a special area, which might be the initiation of a later Master thesis.
