Course Highlights
The Master's programme consists of courses in the main field of biomedicine. It is designed to provide students with both breadth and specialisation through combinations of compulsory and elective courses. The programme is based in an internationally competitive research environment including world-leading infrastructures in which most of the teaching is conducted by active researchers at the faculty. It results in a degree of Master (120 credits) in biomedicine specialising in either industrial or academic research. Irrespective of specialisation, the programme will provide knowledge and expertise that prepares the student for both an academic and industrial career.
The objective of the programme is to provide students with cutting-edge expertise in biomedicine that makes them well prepared to independently contribute to biomedical research and development in teams as well as in leadership positions, in academic environments as well as in private sector companies and the public sector.
Second-cycle courses in a number of fields of biomedical research are intended to prepare students for medical research and development. There are also opportunities for specialisation in adjacent and supplementary subject fields through collaboration.
Learning Structure
The first semester is devoted to advanced studies, including experimental design, scientific communication and state-of-the-art experimental laboratory work using methodologies that are highly relevant for biomedical research areas. Applied biostatistics and ethics are embedded in the semester's courses.
During the second semester, you can individually adapt your studies depending on your areas of interest by selecting elective courses. The programme offers advanced courses in molecular neurobiology, tumour biology, metabolic disease and stem cell biology.
The second year is devoted to preparations for a future profession as a biomedical scientist within academia or the life science industry. Generic competencies in leadership, written scientific communication and oral presentation techniques. The programme ends with a 45 credit research project conducted in academia or life science industry in Sweden or abroad.
