📚About the Program

This Master’s programme is aimed at students with a special interest in plants and their function, ecology, evolution and significance for biodiversity. Studies can focus on plant ecology or plant biotechnology. The programme provides a very good foundation for doctoral studies as well as for professions outside of academia. During the programme you will learn how plants and their organs, cells and genomes are structured and work together. You will study the evolutionary drivers that lead to new plant species, the mechanisms that affect plant distribution and the ecological processes which influence species diversity in plant communities. You will also obtain knowledge on plant interaction with other organisms and on how plants adapt to environmental changes. Show less

📖Program Curriculum

Programme structure
The programme has a recommended study route, but you can also make a personal study plan after consultation with the study advisor and programme coordinator. You will initially take a course on population and community ecology, soil and plant ecology or methods in molecular biology. A course on plant function follows. During the spring semester you will study molecular ecology and evolution, genetic analysis or conservation biology as well as a course on plant evolution and adaptation. During the summer you will have the opportunity to take a course in floristics (in Swedish), and you can start your degree project.

For the second year you will select courses based on interest and do your degree project. Your degree project is worth 30, 45 or 60 credits and is generally conducted in a research team, but it can also be conducted in cooperation with a public authority or a company. The Master’s programme offers the option of doing an internship, which can provide valuable contacts.
