Semester:

  • Academic year
    The academic year consists of two semesters, an Autumn / Fall semester and a Spring semester, each extending over 20 weeks. The Autumn /Fall semester runs from the end of August to mid - January, and the Spring semester runs from mid-January until the beginning of June.

    There are no regular breaks in the academic calendar. However, quite often there are no classes around Christmas and Easter. Please note that the Autumn/Fall semester continues after the Christmas holidays.

  • Credits & Grades
    The duration and extent of study-programs and courses are expressed in a system of credits with one credit corresponding to one week of full -times studies. Full -time studies require at least 40 hours of work per week of which a great deal of time is devoted to individual study or group work outside the classroom. After one academic year of successful full time studies (40 weeks) you will receive 40 credits, which is equivalent to 60 ECTS credits. The ECTS credits are henceforward referred to as "ECTS" and the Swedish credits are referred to as "credits.

    Grades are normally awarded on basis of pass with distinction, pass or fail. Please note that we are not using ECTS-grading scale.
Aims & Content:

This course is offered with two specialization...

Biotechnology

The master program in Molecular Biology with specialization in biotechnology combines cell and molecular biology with subjects like genetics, microbiology, biochemistry and genetic engineering. Advanced on site computer and laboratory facilities are frequently employed for experimental design, DNA/ protein analysis and screening of databases as well as PCR amplification and analyses. The computational resource are also used for designing of primers and complex genetic constructs, targeting of proteins to different cellular compartments and prediction of target genes.

Computational Molecular Biology

The master's program in Molecular Biology with specialization in modeling is a program in the border zones between molecular and cell biology, mathematics and computer science. The heart of the program is based on molecular biology. Use of computers, mathematics and knowledge in computer sciences are employed as key tools for analysis, stimulation and prediction of the system involved in molecular biology, medicine and biotechnology. Experimental work is also included in some of the courses.
