Description
The Master of Science HES-SO (MSc) in Life Sciences focuses on the technological and scientific aspects of the fields of health, food technology and the environment. This MSc follows directly on from the Bachelor of Science (BSc).
National co-operation partners
HES-SO (Fribourg, Lullier, Changins and Sion campuses), ZFH (Zürcher Fachhochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften, ZHAW; Wädenswil), BFH (Schweizerische Hochschule für Landwirtschaft; SHL; Zollikofen), FHNW (Hochschule für Life Sciences; Muttenz).
This is a national-level course, with the general core subjects and extended theoretical basics taught centrally (Berne; Spiez). This cooperation enables students to exchange their professional experiences and expand their personal networks. The theory courses relating to specialisations and the research work (master’s thesis) are undertaken at the institution which houses the relevant MRU (Master’s Research Unit).
