Finding your way around campus

The Faculty of Science and Engineering is located in two main areas in Groningen. Most facilities are located at the Zernike campus, with several of the more medical programmes located downtown at the Antonius Deusinglaan (ADL) near to the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG).

Each building and room or lecture hall within it has a dedicated indicative number. The first four digits of a location indicate the building number; the first two digits after the period indicate the floor number and the last two digits indicate the room number. Some buildings contain multiple building numbers. Take LB 5173.0217 as an example. LB indicates the general building: Linnaeusborg, which consists of multiple building numbers; ‘5173’ indicates which specific part of the Linnaeusborg you need to be in. Room 0217 is on the second floor, in room 17.

Frequently used buildings in the BSc Biology

Most of the lectures, tutorials and practicals of the BSc Biology are scheduled in the Linnaeusborg (home of the Biologists) or in the Feringa Building. The FSE Student Administration Desk, as well as a lot of study spaces and a large canteen can be found in the Bernoulliborg. Exams are typically scheduled in the Aletta Jacobs Hall. Later on in the Bachelor, you might have some classes at ADL (UMCG) as well. You can find short campus tour video clips of our buildings below.
