How do you tackle plant diseases in the cultivation of organic peppers? And how can you encourage purple herons to start breeding again in the Netherlands? With Applied Biology, you will be looking for answers to such questions. In this bachelor programme you will study plants, animals and ecology to contribute to a sustainable living environment.
About the programme
Theory, practice, cases and projects: they all come together in the Bachelor’s programme Applied Biology. From the very first year onwards, you will be working in groups on practical issues from the field, often in an assignment for a company. In the greenhouse, the animal building or outdoors, you will be collecting data for your research. Using statistical analysis, you will be turning the results into suitable advice to present to your client in a clear manner. So you’ll need to be good at collaborating, planning and organising for this study programme.
