For the Faculty of Biology, the accreditation process began in 2012, preparing documentation and detailed descriptions of each program. This extensive documentation was submitted in May 2013. In November 2013 the Faculty hosted the accreditation committee for two days, during which meetings were held with students, faculty members and program coordinators. The official evaluation was received in the beginning of April 2014. The accreditation is valid until September 30, 2019.

The positive evaluation in all areas is a credit to the efforts by faculty and students in shaping and refining these programs over the past years.
