We offer over sixty courses in biology that cover the breadth of the subject. Whether you want to study a single course or an entire education, we are convinced that we have something for you.

At the bottom of the page you can search among our courses to find the right course for you. If you want to study for a degree in biology, we have several programmes at both bachelor's and master's level, but it is also possible to build your own degree by taking freestanding courses, for example if you have already studied some biology before. If you want to graduate through freestanding courses, contact our study counsellors to find out what applies to you.

 

Bachelor's programmes

In the bachelor's programme (only offered in Swedish), you lay the foundation for further studies in biology. The education is three years and gives you thorough knowledge in the subject. Depending on the program and specialization, you begin the program with chemistry studies followed by basic courses in biology. Then you deepen and broaden yourself before you do your final independent work.

To immerse yourself in biology, we offer ten master's programs that specialize in different parts of the subject. The education is two years and after completing your studies you will receive a master's degree. All programs include independent project carried out within an ongoing research project at the university or at an external workplace.

PhD-studies, or a doctoral education, is the highest level you can study at university. A completed doctoral education leads to a doctoral degree, so called PhD. As a doctoral student, you are trained in problem solving, critical thinking, and using the scientific method. You will also learn to both work independently and to collaborate with other researchers.
