Bachelor Life Sciences at HAN University of Applied Sciences

A BSc in Life Sciences at HAN is about learning to do research in a lab. But you don’t just train to become a scientist. You also work on project management and communication skills. After all, getting results is a team effort. As you progress through your degree, you specialize in an area of life sciences. Either molecular plant biology, biomedical research or biotechnology. Theory and practice are closely linked at HAN. Your lecturers guide you through all the current research topics in life sciences. At the same time, you dive straight into experiments in the lab. In fact, half your time is spent doing practical work. That means working in groups of 4-6 students on projects. Projects that deal with real problems in the field of life sciences. 
HAN works closely with companies and research institutes in the Netherlands and abroad. What does that mean for you? You get to work on cutting-edge research projects. Gain invaluable experience. And build on your problem-solving and communication skills.
