The program in a nutshell

Your classes and workshops take place Monday through Friday. In both the lab and in the classroom, you get a feel for the technical and tactical skills needed to perform accurate research. What kind of strategies are needed to clone. What gene expression is all about. And how you use these to improve the lives of others. Animals and humans alike.

At the end of the exchange program, you are tested on your knowledge. Both practical and theoretical. You also plan and carry out a final research project. Complete with professional presentation.

Dutch way of learning

The atmosphere in a Dutch classroom is quite informal and your lecturers are easy to talk to. In fact, at HAN you’re seen as a partner in the learning process. Class sizes are small and your lecturers encourage you to actively participate in class. To ask questions and give your own opinion. They also stimulate you to be creative and to discover things for yourself.

What about credits and grading?

At HAN we use the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System, or ECTS. It’s the standard credit system used in higher education across Europe. How does it work? One credit = 28 hours of study. Think of contact hours. Time spent working on assignments. Preparing for exams.

One semester = 30 credits = 840 hours of study. To earn credits, you need to pass your exams. What counts as a pass? A grade of at least 5.5.
