The field of Biology is concerned with how plants, animals and humans are made up and how they function. The difference with biology at secondary school is that this degree programme involves more exact science: you will study more mathematics, physics and chemistry. Scientists are expanding their horizons more and more. As a biologist, you will increasingly work together with scientists of other disciplines. This interaction will provide you with useful knowledge.Choose the Major that suits you best!Many universities offer degree programmes in Biology. The big advantage of studying in Groningen is that you can choose the exact specialization that suits you best. After the broad-based first semester, which comprises course units that cover virtually all aspects of biology, you will choose a specialization that you are interested in, for example Ecology & Ecology or Biomedical Sciences.The second year is when you make your definitive choice of Major. You can choose from the following five Majors:* Ecology and Evolution* Molecular Life Sciences* Behaviour and Neurosciences* Biomedical Sciences* Integrative BiologyImportant: this programme has a fixed quota (numerus fixus), meaning that the application deadline
