A Bachelor's degree, equivalent to a Swedish Kandidatexamen, from an internationally recognised university. Also required is: 40 weeks of full-time studies (60 credits) in biology; and 20 weeks of full-time studies (30 credits) in chemistry.
Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6. This requirement can be met either by achieving the required score on an internationally recognised test, or by previous upper secondary or university studies in some countries.
Biodiversity and human health are threatened by chemicals, affecting wildlife and humans at molecular, organismal, and population levels. Identifying chemical hazards and managing risks today and in the future, helps us develop strategies to mitigate pollution effects, safeguard biodiversity, and protect human health. If you consider this important, the Master's Programme in Biology, specialising in Environmental Toxicology, is definitely for you. The specialisation in Environmental Toxicology is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how wildlife and humans are impacted by chemicals, from their uptake and molecular, biochemical, and physiological effects to consequences at population and ecosystem levels. Our courses integrate multiple disciplines, including computational modelling, molecular and cellular biology, physiology, ecology, and epidemiology. The programme encompasses laboratory and theoretical studies as well as applied aspects, such as risk assessment, environmental impact descriptions, and chemical testing. During the programme, you can expect to: understand how chemicals may affect humans and wildlife and how chemical hazards and risks are identified; meet substantial applied aspects within risk assessment and testing of chemicals; and cover
