Ecology and Evolution (pre-Master's programme)

Toekomst
Apply now
In principle, you’ll follow courses from the Bachelor's Biology programme, but you could also follow components from other programmes, depending on your deficiencies.

The default programme is the 30 EC minor Evolutionary Biology & Ecology. However, students from a university of applied sciences (HBO) may substitute the course Ecosystem Modelling with the course Diversiteit van Leven.

You’ll have to complete the pre-Master's programme (30 EC) within a year, so it is not possible to re-enroll for the pre-Master's programme. You can find general information about admission and application here. The Faculty of Sciences does not require you to participate in the pre-Master assessment, but you will need to successfully complete an English Language test. Please see the Admissions tab for more information. 

If you have any questions about the pre-Master’s programme Ecology and Evolution, please contact the Educational Office using this form.

The pre-Master’s Ecology and Evolution programme covers the following topics:

- Environmental Toxicology
- Ecosystem Modelling or Diversiteit van Leven (HBO students only)
- Adaptation to Human Environment
- Behavioural Biology
