Elective courses and orientations
By following elective courses you can broaden or deepen your knowledge. You can choose your own set of courses or choose one of these elective options:
- Communication
- Education (taught in Dutch)
- Management of Technology
- Study Abroad
Design project
In the design project you will be challenged to integrate applied and theoretical knowledge. The project may focus on specific bioproducts such as pharmaceuticals or food additives, or on specific bioprocess involving, for example, fine or bulk chemicals, or on environmental processes. It might also address a micro-organism or a metabolic route in that organism, or the design of equipment, including, for example, diagnostic equipment. Depending on the topic, a team of students from different LST specialisations may collaborate in a structured manner towards a complete design to be described in both a written report and an oral presentation.
