This program suited me because I really enjoyed biology in high school. I wanted to know everything that happens in the body and how to improve it. How and why bacteria grow, for example. This program was quite demanding, but I saw it as a challenge. You get a lot of information, but you really learn a lot.

In the final year, the two specializations of clinical chemistry and microbiology are distinguished. Clinical biology focuses primarily on hospitals: examining blood and urine. Microbiology focuses primarily on food, bacteria, and viruses.

Sometimes companies come to the school to demonstrate what they do, like recently a company that collaborates with veterinarians. When farm animals are sick, they take samples to research which medications might help. Very interesting, I definitely want to do something like that someday!

What I enjoyed most about this program was the amount of thinking you had to do and the amount of hands-on work. There's a good balance between practical and theoretical work. You work with cool equipment and complete engaging assignments, just as you would in the real world.
