Is this programme right for me?

If you want a programme that introduces you to new knowledge, challenges and new people, then Nanobiology might/could be the right programme for you. It’s an international programme providing opportunities to learn with students with a variety of backgrounds. The programme supports you in stepping out of your comfort zone, discovering your passions and exploring new science.

Courses and interests

The following high school subjects are part of Nanobiology. If these are courses that you like and inspire you, then this might be the right programme for you. Especially if you can’t choose between them.

Intensity of studies

At Nanobiology you spend approximately 40 hours per week studying. This is average compared to other studies.

Although the level is well in line with the level of secondary school, the pace at university is a lot higher and the amount of teaching materials is a lot more than at secondary school. Students are expected to be more independent and responsible for their learning. 

Student experiences

Choosing a study is quite difficult. Students who are now in the Nanobiology programme also had to make that choice once. For some it was a quick and easy choice, for others it was a bit more complicated. Read here how they made their decision in the end and what they think of the programme now.
