About Life Sciences, BSc - at Erasmus University College, Erasmus University Rotterdam

At the end of their first year at EUC, students declare their Major, which is a central component of the curriculum. It consist of a comprehensive set of courses (75 EC) that builds a solid foundation in a particular discipline. Each Major will be concluded with a capstone project, in which a Major-related topic of the student's choice will be explored under the guidance of a supervisor. In addition to the Major, students have the option to choose an EUC Minor (30 EC). At EUC, you can choose from the following Majors:

Life Sciences

The major Life Sciences is a cross-disciplinary programme that features core courses in the fundamental biological sciences (such as molecular and cellular biology, plant biology, microbiology and human physiology) and specialisations that range from genetics to multidisciplinary and applied life sciences, such as ecology and evolutionary biology. One of the most appealing aspects of the major in Life Sciences is its comprehensive nature. The major is highly suited for students interested in a career in the biological sciences in its broadest sense from research to policy-making.

Molecular & Cellular Biology

The major in Molecular & Cellular Biology focuses on the study of molecular structures and processes within the cells and their roles in the function, reproduction and development of organisms. This covers a broad range of specialised disciplines such as biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, cell physiology, cell anatomy and immunology.

Neuroscience

The major in Neuroscience offers students a multidisciplinary study of biological subjects that focus on the human central nervous system. The major is designed for students with a strong interest in neurobiology and the way in which the brain governs behaviour.

Pre-Med

The Pre-Med major is a programme that will prepare you for admission to (i) the Premaster programme (in Dutch) at the Erasmus Medical Centre (Erasmus MC), (ii) the School of Medicine (in English) of St. George’s University (SGU), Grenada, or (iii) another Biomedical master programme. The Premaster programme is open for up to 24 Pre-Med graduates per year (see below). The School of Medicine of SGU is open for up to 10 Pre-Med graduates per year.

EUC and Erasmus MC have agreed that BSc students from EUC should be able to enter the Erasmus MC Medical Master (MMSc). In order to do so, students are required to follow the Pre-Med major at EUC, and they will have to participate in a 1-year Premaster programme at Erasmus MC after graduating from EUC and before entering the MMSc. The Pre-Med major does not guarantee access to the Premaster programme as there are entry requirements regarding:

  • the number of students; a maximum of 24 Pre-Med graduates/year are allowed to enter the Premaster programme;
  • mastery of the Dutch language (at least B2 level, certified with the NT-2 exam or a pass for Dutch on a ‘VWO’ diploma), because both the Premaster programme and the MMSc are taught in Dutch;
  • the GPA obtained for the Pre-Med courses;
  • the extra-curricular activities performed besides the EUC Bachelor diploma;
  • the results from a limited number of Premaster entry tests, which will have to be taken during the final semester at EUC.

In the Pre-Med major students will obtain a basic knowledge of the Life Sciences as well as the Medical Sciences. Fields of study include:

  • fundamental biology, including human anatomy and physiology;
  • selected issues of health and disease;
  • the medical process and the scientific basis of medicine;
  • epidemiology and research methodology;
  • medical statistics;
  • general clinical skills, including anamnesis, physical examination, clinical reasoning and therapeutic skills; and
  • (medical) professional behaviour.

Entry requirements

Students are allowed to enter these majors when they either have successfully completed a general biology course prior to entering EUC or have passed the EUC course ACC112 Basics of Life in the first year.
