Elective Courses
The students complete their study program by selecting on of the research internship courses below and/or courses from the above lists, from the biophysics specialization, from the module 'Science, Education and Society' or other courses relevant offered at the KU Leuven. The choice has to be approved by the study track advisor.
Students can valorise participation to a project of AFC or AFD or a Summer School for 3 credits in the programme. They have to ask the permission of the study track advisor. The ISP-approver can add these courses to the ISP.12 ECTS Research Internship in Biophysics, Biochemistry and Biotechnology G0D78A staff staff
