Biology is a natural science about nature and its principles. This field of study explores living and non-living forms of organisms, including humans, animals, plants and microorganisms. Biology analyzes their structures, functioninig, growth, classifications, evolution, origin, distribution and interrelationships. It has a broad spectrum of academic fields like anatomy, astrobiology, biomechanics, botany, biophysics, pathology, zoology, neurobiology, anthropology, evolutionary biology, ichthyology, histology, biochemistry, ecology, physiology and many others.
Modern biology pays significant attention to cell structures, chemical and organic relations between atoms and molecules, gene engineering and modeling of evolution. Graduates can work in many different positions or improve knowledge at scientific research.
The master course aims at offering participants full capability to acquire high professional skills in coastal zone management, as coordinators of teams involved in assessing coastal – zone status and/or restoration projects, and as researchers on coastal issues.
The main objective of this two-year full-time graduate Master’s program is to prepare students for the challenges in Biosciences of the 21st century. The students should be able to think on „omics“ levels and have to be able to understand and apply the respective new technologies.
Master of Science program in Medical Physiology aims at providing a broad perspective in Life Sciences for those holding a BS or MS degree in Basic Sciences, Engineering or Medical Sciences and planning to obtain a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Physiology or related fields (e.g., Biophysics, Neuroscience, Biomedical engineering, etc.). The program is designed also to serve as an interface for graduates of basic sciences (e.g., physics, chemistry, mathematics) and engineering disciplines who are planning careers on biomedical applications and medical technologies.
The Master of Biology programme covers many aspects of modern biology, ranging from the molecular to the population and community levels, with particular emphasis on scientific skills such as problem-solving, independent thinking, and communication.
This programe, in collaboration with Uppsala University, focuses on the biological and chemical processes behind the aetiology, epidemiology and evolution of microbial infections, as well as ways of predicting, preventing, tracking and treating infectious diseases.
Synaptic transmission, neuronal firing: neuroscience is growing. Do basic or clinical research. Take tutorials and workshops in all aspect of the field, and go on to an academic or research career.
This course aims to provide training in the theoretical and practical aspects of the biology and control of disease vectors as well as the human pathogens that they transmit, and equip students with specialised skills to facilitate careers in global health that demand knowledge of the molecular biology of infectious diseases.
This Second Cycle Degree Programme provides students with the high qualification and specialization needed to apply investigation methods, plan environmental recovery and reclamation interventions, evaluate environmental resources, manage and plan the territory as well as the coastal and marine systems, manage renewable energy sources, environmental-related technologies and clean products and processes.
The programme concentrates on plant sciences and molecular biology and the integration of the disciplines, to provide healthy plants in a safe environment for food, non-food and health applications.
Biomolecular Science is the study of biological systems at the molecular level. This is accomplished through an innovative curriculum that spans the boundaries between biology and chemistry and through exposure to research.
The programme will provide a general understanding of the necessary conditions for sustainable forestry with minimized environmental impact on biological diversity from both a Swedish and an international perspective.
In the Master Programme in Molecular Biotechnology, you will study several of the scientific fields where Uppsala University has world-leading research – molecular biology, genomics and biochemistry. The programme focuses on biomolecules and the development of technology, with Uppsala’s long tradition and experience of biotechnology development.
