📖Program Curriculum

The biology education at advanced (Master's) level is based on studies at basic (Bachelor's) level, and includes a development of the student's skills and competences. The courses within the Master's programme focus on topics with a strong research base at the University, and the courses are given in close contact with active research. In addition, there are courses that prepare for a professional life in private companies and various organisations.

The Biology programme has several specialisations characterised by one or several profile courses, a recommended course sequence and a relevant degree project. Beyond this, the student can choose courses quite freely. Common to all specialisations is the compulsory module Introduction to Master's studies, 2 credits, during the first period of the programme. This module discusses the role of biology in society, issues relevant for future job careers, research ethics, gender issues and sustainable development - discussions that continue in seminars throughout the study period.

For the Master's degree there are several options for degree project: one project of 30, 45 or 60 credits, or two projects of 30 + 30 credits. The one-year Master's concludes with a degree project of 15 credits.
