BA/BS in Biology

Do you want to understand how climate change affects marine life? Are you curious about the causes of diseases like cancer, or what happens in the brain during sleep? Do you see yourself working with other scientists to help solve the world's biggest biological challenges? Then Biology at the University of Groningen is the right choice for you.
✔ Explore all areas of biology in your first semester — from ecology to molecular life sciences.
✔ Shape your own programme with a specialisation and Major that fits your interests
✔ Gain hands-on experience in labs and fieldwork, and work with experts from different scientific fields.

During this programme, you'll learn how living systems work, from molecules to ecosystems. You'll combine biology with mathematics, physics, and chemistry to answer questions about health, biodiversity, and the environment. From your second year, you'll specialize and build the skills to contribute to science and society — whether in research, conservation, healthcare, or biotechnology.
