MASTER'S PROGRAMME IN BIOLOGY 12O CREDITS

STOCKHOLM UNIVERSITY
A special programme is available for those who want to tailor their education in biology. This provides a
unique opportunity for a student who wants a multidisciplinary education and who wants to combine
biology with studies in the humanities or social sciences. You may wish to take advanced education within
one or several fields within biology that do not have their own Masters programme, such as botany,
genetics or physiology. In this case, you are free to choose from the advanced courses in biology, for 30-
90 hp (1-3 terms). The advanced courses then lead on to a degree project that provides 30-60 hp (1-2
terms). The Masters Programme in Biology gives you the opportunity to read up to 60 hp (2 terms) from
fully freely chosen courses. These may be advanced courses in other subjects such as history and
psychology. It is also possible to take courses at a basic level, a maximum of one term, both within
biology and within totally different subjects, such as Business Studies or languages.

The labour market needs biologists that have broad expertise. The Masters Programme in Biology provides you with the
opportunity to meet the demands for breadth within, for example, law, economy or management studies. It is an advantage to
have gained practical work experience, and the Masters Programme in Biology at Stockholm University allows you to carry out
credited workplace experience for 5 or 10 weeks. You choose the location of the practical workplace experience yourself. The
aim is to give you the opportunity to apply your knowledge of biology in practice. It is also an aim that you will find out how
work with a biological connection is organised and carried out at, for example, a company or an authority. This period of
workplace experience, and the degree project, is for many their first step onto the labour market.

The Masters Programme in Biology offers you a broad education that is adapted to the needs of the labour market. It is also a
good entry for those who are unsure about which part of biology to specialise in. Your choice of courses will give good
possibilities to change during the programme to one of our other, more specialised, Masters programmes in biology. One
years studies within the Masters Programme in Biology provide eligibility to apply to research education
