Being a 'University for Life Sciences', Wageningen University is concerned with the improvement of the quality of life. Research and educational programmes aimed at improving the quality of life can be done on different levels of integration. Chemistry, biology and physics play a key role in many of these research and educational programmes that are further grouped in various 'University for Life Sciences' domains. In some programmes the natural sciences are used in a more applied sense and in others, including Molecular Life Sciences, in a more fundamental sense, i.e. the focus is on molecules and their chemical and physical properties in relation to the environment where they occur. The BSc programme Molecular Life Sciences of Wageningen University provides students with a spectrum of professional and personal competencies needed to work under supervision of an academic scientist (MSc Level) in fields related to fundamental molecular aspects of the 'University for Life Sciences' domains. The main goal of the BSc programme Molecular Life Sciences is that it prepares for a master programme. The programme also provides domain specific knowledge to become a licensed secondary school teacher in chemistry. For the latter a supplementary training in pedagogical and didactic aspects of teaching is required, which can be achieved in post graduate education. \nMission statement 'To develop the potential of students to extend molecular life sciences'.
