The graduate course in Biosafety supported by the IPBO in co-operation with UNIDO. This international e-course is aimed at training scientists and law specialists in biosafety expertise and evaluation. This program is not offered in academic year 2020-2019.

After obtaining a Bachelor degree, further specialization can be acquired by following in a subsequent Master. Most UGent Master programs are taught in Dutch, some in English. You can look for English Master programs here. 

All Bachelor programs within the Faculty of Sciences are taught in Dutch. More information about the different options is available at the website of Ghent University.

The Center for PSB offers college students with a profound interest in science the opportunity to work in a research laboratory. Wetenschap op Stap is a VIB program that introduces youngsters from the fifth and sixth grade elementary school to life in the laboratory. 

The professors and senior scientists associated with the Center for PSB teach basic courses such as Genetics and Plant Developmental Biology and are involved in specialized courses in which they integrate the latest technologies and scientific developments. The department is an inspiring work place for undergraduate students to perform lab practices and research projects. Students that follow non-academic Bachelors are equally welcome and are trained in the most recent technologies available in plant biotechnology.

The Center for PSB hosts and trains a large number of PhD students. They obtain fellowships from various sources such as FWO, VLAIO (former IWT), BOF and VIB and are integrated in the diverse scientific programs that run in the department. 

To stay innovative and creative in life sciences, it is important to provide students with an educational program that integrates the state-of-the-art knowledge in their field of interest and that awakens their scientific curiosity and creativity. Providing up-to-date education in plant developmental biology, biotechnology, genetics and bioinformatics is therefore an important goal of the Center for Plant Systems Biology.
