Life Sciences
Study at the interface between nature, technology, medicine and the environment as part of Europe’s largest life sciences centre.
Conduct research into drugs for treating cancer, develop methods for the early detection of diseases, create implants using a 3D printer, produce new chemical substances, visualise big data or join the fight for clean water. Our wide range of courses in Life Sciences gives students the opportunity to be actively involved in solving the social problems of the future.
Hand in hand with industry
The FHNW School of Life Sciences is situated at the heart of the international life sciences industry with which it enjoys close ties. Students are directly involved in current projects throughout their studies and work in partnership with industry on the burning issues of tomorrow, which brings benefits both in their studies and later on when they are looking for a job.
The foundation for a successful future
Our graduates are highly sought-after specialists in industry. We are proud to say that 98 per cent of our students enter employment in their specialist field or go on to further study straight after graduating.
The future is here
The location of the new FHNW Campus Muttenz is not only spectacular thanks to well-known companies in the neighborhood: The view over Basel and the train station close by sweeten student life. In addition to the School of Life Sciences, the new FHNW Campus houses the School of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geomatics, Civil Engineering and Geomatics as well as the School of Education and Social Work. Thus, around 3,700 students and 800 employees liven up the new location.
