About

The Molecular Life Sciences program from HAN University of Applied Sciences teaches you how to apply scientific research to the development of product. For example, for the pharmaceutical industry or biotechnology. You learn about topics such as immunology and vaccine, drug and diagnostic test development.

Overview

The Molecular Life Sciences program from HAN University of Applied Sciences combines a theory program with learning at your own workplace. You will have assignments and assessments in both worlds. You have classes 1 day a week. There'll be one week in the semester where you have classes for 2 to 3 days. Course days can partially be joined online. You also learn by independently working on your assignments, and apply your new skills at your own workplace. The study load is about 20 hours per week in addition to the development at your own workplace, and you can earn a total of 120 ECTS credits.

The program takes between 2 and 4 years to complete. The actual duration depends on how efficiently you can integrate the study into your work and personal life. If you can integrate the study efficiently in your work and personal life, you can complete it within 2 years. If spreading the study load over a longer time fits better for you, 3 to even 4 years might be more realistic.
