The subject of this page is an overview of some of the MSc-projects of the Nationaal Herbarium Nederland. The emphasis is on systematic and biogeographical, morphological and (ultra)structural research. However, molecular research (DNA) may be included. The presented overview is not exhaustive, moreover, changes and adaptions happen regularly. Projects as well as duration of projects are flexible. Furthermore, it is possible to discuss one's own preferences and ideas for subjects and duration.
Many MSc-projects include fieldwork (Africa, America, Europe, The Netherlands). Projects studying Southeast Asian plants have limited fieldwork opportunities, however, they may be explored. Applications for visa, research permits and funding are time consuming. As part of a project visits to European sisterinstitutes (e.g. Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew; Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh; Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris) may be included. [However, foreign students should be aware that they may need additional visa for other countries.]
The report on the project should be written as a manuscript for a publication in an international journal.
A complete overview of projects is available as PDF-document (stageboek 2004).
