Bachelor’s degree of at least 180 credits, of which 90 credits must be in science, including 5 credits in statistics and 60 credits in biology comprising cell biology, genetics, microbiology, ecology, botany and zoology, or the equivalent. English course 6/English level 2 (advanced proficiency).
You will practise chemical analyses and methods for taking specimens, as well as refine your species knowledge on planktons, invertebrates, large algae, other submerged aquatic plants and fish. We also discuss the effects of over-fertilisation, acidification and climate change with regard to aquatic systems.
The programme includes applied courses that provide you with important expertise on, for example, the EU framework directives on water, environmental toxins and utilisation of geographic information systems (GIS), and implementation of the action programme for restoring damaged aquatic environments. You will also achieve specialised knowledge on experimental design and statistics, as well as training in analysing and interpreting biological data.
All of the teaching staff are researchers, and the programme is continuously adapted based on current research. The Department of Biology has several world-leading research teams and conducts both basic research and applied research.
