Faculty of Sciences

The mission of the faculty of Sciences encompasses the study of the natural sciences on the most fundamental level, however without losing grip on their applications.

The faculty of Sciences therefore provides education and research at a high international level, with science and technology directed towards the needs of the society. The faculty offers courses and programmes not only in all traditional fields, but also in many more specialised disciplines.

The faculty is proud to be attentive to the needs of her foreign students, offering counselling on all levels. Of course many courses are taught in Dutch, but it is the policy of the faculty to offer flexible alternatives to foreign students. Graduates of the faculty of Sciences easily find a place in the society within the most diverse sectors.

The education in the different disciplines has its roots in intensive scientific research, performed in 15 departments. The departments, further divided into research groups, are supported by several logistic services.
