Overview of the study plan

Exchange Master Bio-engineering


Exchange MA Bio-engineering

Incoming Master students in Bioengineering or Molecular Biology can make a choice among the following courses.

Important notes:
1. Please contact the exchange coordinator, Prof. Stefan Magez (stefan.magez@vub.be), to discuss the selection of courses.
2. Courses from both the Master of Science in Bioengineering Sciences (bio-ingenieurswetenschappen) and the Master of Science in Molecular Biology can be selected.
3. Make sure you select courses that are offered during your stay; either semester 1 (fall semester) or semester 2 (spring semester).
4. Check the timetables on the faculty website to avoid overlap of your courses. Make sure to regularly check these timetables as they may be liable to changes: https://www.vub.be/en/studying-vub/practical-info-for-students/class-and-exam-schedules/class-schedules
