Master Day Biology
27th November 2021
This year, the Royal Belgian Zoological Society is very happy to announce the organisation of the Master Day Biology 2021 event. This 11th edition of the National Master Day in Biology will take place in the Antwerp Zoo (Elisabeth complex) on the 27th of November 2021.
It is a unique opportunity, for students, to keep updated on the Biology Masters accessible in all Belgian universities and be well informed about the study programs and future career opportunities!
In addition, the event will host the Jacques Kets Zoology Award finals where five shortlisted candidates will be invited to give an oral presentation of their master thesis work (in English). All students attending the event will then have the opportunity to discover fascinating lines of research and vote for their favorite master thesis among the candidates.
The event is free and accessible for all students interested in a Master in Biology but registration for participation is required: click here
The Zoo entrance is free for all members of the Royal Belgian Zoological Society, so feel free to register to the society before the event (no possible registration during the event) : link here
