Bachelor’s degree of at least 180 credits or the equivalent, including at least 90 credits in chemistry, of which at least 15 credits must be in biochemistry. English course 6/English level 2 (advanced proficiency).
This programme provides you with specialised knowledge in protein chemistry, molecular biophysics and structural biochemistry. You will examine molecular structures and functional mechanisms in a large number of proteins.
During the programme you will obtain ample experimental experience and learn to master methods for cloning, expression and purification of proteins. You will also learn a number of specialised techniques used to analyse proteins such as mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography.
As a student, you will develop the ability to independently plan, conduct, and critically evaluate experiments. You will also learn to use scientific literature as well as manage and analyse data in various forms.
The programme has strong ties with research. All of the teaching staff are researchers, and the course content is continuously adapted based on current research. Our department is characterised by a broad spectrum of basic research and applied research, as well as close contact with industry and external research centres.
Lund is also home to two world-unique research facilities. The MAX IV Laboratory is the world’s first fourth-generation synchrotron light source, and ESS (European Spallation Source) will be the world’s most powerful neutron source.
