Bachelor's and Master's programmes

Students in front of the Linnaeusborg building

The Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE) harbours a kaleidoscope of disciplines and research strengths. We offer 14 Bachelor's and 26 Master's degree programmes, English-taught, allowing international students to follow all course units.

Our researchers pursue fundamental key questions while collaborating with partners from industry, the medical world and other realms of society. Frontline research groups explore new fields such as synthetic biology and sustainable energy use.

Our programmes in research and education range from nanomaterials and bio machinery to astronomy, from mathematics to pharmacy, from neurosciences to computer science, and from molecular and evolutionary biology to marine biology.

School of Science and Engineering

The School of Science and Engineering (SSE) is responsible for organizing and running the 40 Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes of the Faculty of Science and Engineering.

Numerus fixus

The following bachelor degree programmes are numerus fixus (fixed quota) programmes: Artificial Intelligence, Biomedical Engineering and Computing Science. Students who apply for a numerus fixus programme will have to successfully complete a selection procedure before they can be admitted to the programme.

Graduate School of Science and Engineering

PhD programmes

Are you interested in a PhD programme? Ten faculties within the University of Groningen have their own Graduate School, offering a multitude of Research Master’s and PhD programmes. Have a look on our website for more information about our Graduate School of Science and Engineering.

EngD programmes

An EngD is a 2-year post-master programme that combines studying with practical experience in industry. The programme is focused on training you to become a designer that can solve technical challenges in an industry of your interest.

Our EngD programmes are fully English-taught and focus on the areas of high-tech and chemical industries.

FSE locations

The faculty is housed at six different locations. The Bernoulliborg, Linnaeusborg, Nijenborgh 4, Kapteynborg and the Ben Feringa Building are located at the Zernike Campus. The MWF building (Pharmacy) is located near the city centre. On this page you will find more information about these locations.
