A Bachelor's degree, equivalent to a Swedish Kandidatexamen, from an internationally recognised university. Also required is: 60 weeks of full-time studies (90 credits) in biology; or 40 weeks of full-time studies (60 credits) in biology plus 20 weeks of full-time studies (30 credits) in chemistry and/or earth sciences.
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.
Master's Programme in Biology – NABiS – Nordic Master in Biodiversity and Systematics All the diversity of organisms on our planet and their evolutionary relationships are in focus for the students in the Nordic Academy of Biodiversity and Systematics (NABiS), a specialisation within the Master's Programme in Biology. With morphological and molecular tools, our knowledge about biodiversity in a broad sense is growing. If you want to answer questions about evolution, biogeography and the origin of all variation, this is the specialisation for you. NABiS (Nordic Academy of Biodiversity and Systematic Studies) is a cooperative programme hosted by six universities in Sweden and Norway. Each university offers courses where it has specialist competence, both regarding organismal groups, and also in theoretical and analytical aspects. Combining courses at different universities leads to a top-quality Master's degree in systematics and taxonomy. Far from all organisms have been discovered and described, and among the organisms we know, evolutionary relationships are in many cases still in need of studies. In this specialisation, students are trained to gain systematic, taxonomic and analytical expertise, as well as the bioinformatics tools needed in our society to be able to understand a
