Overview

Key facts

If you’ve got a Dutch University of Applied Sciences (HBO) bachelor's degree programme for example, but still want to follow a Master’s programme, you might need a Ecology and Evolution pre-Master programme at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
Or if you have a Bachelor’s degree in a subject that is not directly linked to ecology. In both cases, this pre-Master’s programme Ecology and Evolution will enable you to gain admission to the Master’s programme Ecology and Evolution.

What effect has it had on genetics, molecular biology, animal physiology and the behavioral sciences? You’ll explore these topics, as well as study the unifying principles of biology.
