Module handbook
The Faculty of Biology offers a wide range of modules taught in English for international students. These modules cover many different topics from the molecular level to that of whole organisms, populations and ecosystems. Modules range from introductory courses (e.g. our Welcome module) to small challenging modules for advanced students (Advanced modules and Research modules).
In the Research modules the students engage in current research projects and have the opportunity to contribute to the excellent research carried out at our university.

During the weekly journal club, we will explore and critically evaluate current literature. We will discuss the general structure of research articles, the experimental design and the presented data. In each session a student will present a different article followed by a group discussion. During the journal club students will be introduced to different research methods and learn how to critically analyse scientific data. |
