The Department of Molecular Biology offers several project courses where students have the opportunity to work on ongoing research projects within a research group.
Apply for the course
To be admitted, you need to apply via universityadmissions.se. Application dates can be found on universityadmissions.se.
Before you start
Once you have been admitted to the project course, you will get access to a Canvas page for the course. You may also be invited to this page before being admitted to get more information (contact the course leader or study advisor to be invited). The Canvas page contains important information about finding a supervisor, examination, and more.
Well in advance of the course start, you should arrange with a research group working on molecular biology research to do your project course with them. Suitable research groups at the university can be found on the university's website, for example, at the Department of Molecular Biology.
