bending_sickleRotterdam has only "Medicine and Health Sciences" for Biology, as well as Forensics, Epidemology and Neuroscieneces.
Leiden University** Master's Bio/Env list. "Biodiversity in Time and Space"? What the whoey?
Radboud University Nijmegen offers Biology and "English Language and Culture".
Maastricht University - "The University successfully participated in the renowned case competitions at McGill University and the University of Southern California (USC) at the beginning of 2006." There's a lot of Physical Health programmes and not much else.
University of Amsterdam has an English site, offering Biological Sciences (Research MSc) with an Ecology and Evolution (MSc) as well as "General Biology", for those who want to be "specialists with a broad orientation" (WTF?), Life Sciences (Research MSc) which specializes in Molecular Cell Biology and Bioinformatics or in Medical Biochemistry.
University of Gronigen has reaseach for Evology and Evolution, but alas, no list of Masters Programes.
Twente University is sciencey and has a list, but no bio stuff.
Utrecht University has damn shiny programmes
Vrije Amsterdam University - The Ecology MSc promises I "will be well equipped to conduct research at universities and other research institutes [and] a career in central government [...], at a water board, conservation organization or NGO."
The Bio MSc says: "With the research variant you will be able to embark on a career in research, either in the business sector or attached to universities or other research institutes. The Policy & Management variant equips you for a position as a policy officer and gives you a solid basis from which to start your own business. The Communication & Education variant enables you to work in public relations, scientific journalism, biological design or teaching at pre-university or higher vocational education level."
The English program assures "the main areas in which our graduates find work are publishing, academic research, PR, translating and editing, subtitling, localizing, copywriting, lexicography and teaching."
Wageningen University has the ECTS label, awarded by the European Commission, which guarantees the quality of the study programme and applies the European Credit Transfer System, promoting student mobility within Europe and preventing study delay.
Animal Breeding and Genetics MSc: Animal breeding has increasingly become an integrated, worldwide industry. [...] This specialisation focuses on the genetic improvement of farm animals by integrating quantitative, biological and molecular approaches. DNA techniques are emphasised because they are increasingly being used to determine genetic diversity in animal populations such as dogs and horses.
Biology MSc offers Ecology and reassures me somewhat by saying "Many graduates from the Biology programme enter careers in fundamental and applied research or go on to postgraduate studies. Some find a position as communication officer, manager or decision-maker. Most of our graduates find a job within 6 month after graduation."
Environmental Sciences sounds boring but responsible.
* The Dutch politician who began a speech by rendering the Dutch ‘Ik heet u welkom’ (‘I would like to welcome you’) literally as ‘I hate you welcome’ has become the stuff of legend.
** Apparently not Dutch anymore: "Technically the University of Leuven, currently in Belgium but in the year of its foundation (1425) located in the Netherlands, is the oldest university ever founded in the Netherlands, but Leuven is no longer part of the Netherlands."
