Are you fascinated by human biology and want to build a future around it? The Biology, Nutrition & Health program will teach you everything about human health from a biological perspective, exploring the intricate connections between biology, nutrition, behavior, and our living environment. You will develop into a professional equipped to help society live a healthy and sustainable life. This program addresses the growing demand for experts who can guide communities towards better well-being and sustainable living practices.
The program is structured over four years, starting with a broad foundation in biology, nutrition, and human behavior. In the later years, you will have opportunities to specialize through practical assignments and internships.
For Havo/Vwo students who do not meet the entry requirements, preparatory courses and entrance exams for Mathematics and Chemistry are offered. A free summer course is available two weeks before the exams. Students lacking Biology and Chemistry will take 'bridging courses' in the first year. Mbo level 4 diploma holders without Mathematics and Chemistry are expected to follow the summer course and take the entrance exams, with an exception for 'Environmental Researcher' diploma holders. All Mbo level 4 students, except those with an 'Environmental Researcher' diploma, must take bridging courses in Biology and Chemistry in the first year.
