objectives
MSc Biology graduates are expected to be able to:
- critically discuss the latest scientific developments in the biological sciences at molecular, cellular, organismal, population and ecosystem level
- analyse advanced and complex biological concepts, approaches and methods and reflect upon scientific biological literature
- analyse the fundamental concepts and mechanisms in biology in the chosen specialisation
- apply and evaluate state of the art research techniques in the field of biology
- write, critically evaluate and adapt a research plan in the field of biology and carry out the research plan by doing experiments and/or collecting (field) data and interpreting the results
- communicate and discuss convincingly project outcomes, methods and underpinning rationale to specialists and non-specialists audiences
- take into consideration social, scientific and ethical aspects of biological research that are encountered in work or study in the field of biology
- design and plan own learning processes based on continuous reflection upon personal knowledge, skills, attitudes and performance
