To complete your bachelor's degree in Life Science with a focus on Chemistry or Molecular Biology, you are required to undertake an experimental research project culminating in a written thesis. During the thesis project period, you will work full-time on a research project. Completing your thesis project is an exciting opportunity to engage in hands-on research and apply your skills in a real-world setting. Start planning early to make the most of this experience!
Apply
You must apply for the degree thesis course through antagning.se/universityadmissions.se.
Find a supervisor
You must find a suitable supervisor at any university or life science company. If the work is conducted outside Umeå University, you will still need a supervisor from Umeå University to ensure that all criteria are met. We recommend starting your search for a thesis supervisor 4-6 months before the course begins.
More information
We have a Canvas page for the thesis course which provides comprehensive information about the thesis process. You can be added to the Canvas page well in advance to receive important information, including how to find a project and a supervisor, guidelines, deadlines, and resources. To be added to the Canvas page, contact your study counsellor. If you have questions about the thesis, you can reach out to your study counsellor or the course leader.
