There is also a close cooperation with institutes outside the University such as the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ).

Students

The Master's programme in Freshwater & Marine Biology  has a student population of 20 - 30 students each year, with many nationalities and backgrounds. Courses are done in small groups and during the Master's projects students participate in regular meetings to present their work and discuss this with their peers. This results in an informal and international classroom.
