"The various components make the learning environment more dynamic and ensure a better understanding at several levels.''
Having a background in Chemistry, my career choices were quite clearly defined, but I decided to take a different route and enroll in the Marine Sciences Master’s programme. In the first year I have been exploring a wide variety of fields –ranging from microbiology to physical oceanography – developing a strong interdisciplinary approach within the subject. The various components (theory, tutorial, group work, presentation and lab) make the learning environment more dynamic and ensure a better understanding at several levels. With the support of the faculty, I have been able to secure two research projects on the nitrogen cycle for this upcoming year. These opportunities allow me to bridge the gap between my chemistry background and my newly acquired knowledge on marine ecosystems while working both in the Netherlands and abroad.
