Other approved electives

Course
2015-2016

All courses that are compulsory in a specific specialisation can be followed as electives in all other specialisations.
Below you will find a list of courses from biology related Institutes (Faculty of Science or LUMC) which are approved by the Board of Examiners and can be followed as electives. These courses are approved for the master specialisations Animal Sciences and Health, Plant Sciences and Natural Products and Microbial Biotechnology and Health. NB: For the master specialisation Evolution, Biodiversity and Conservation only the courses Evolutionary Algorithms and Advances in data mining are approved.

For specific information about registration and schedules you can contact the course coordinator that is mentioned in the course description, see e-Prospectus of the MSc specialisation organizing the course.

You are free to look for other elective courses that are not in this list from other master specialisations in the e-Prospectus. Make sure you check whether the course is registered as ‘Optional course’. For these courses you have to ask for permission from the Board of Examiners before the start of the course. You can do this via a petition request in USIS and an email to the study advisor.

Admission requirements

Succesfully finished the Orientation course, and established a concept MSc programme approved by the Board of Examiners. For admission requirements for the specific courses, please look at the course description of that course.
