Programme start
The autumn semester starts on Monday the 28th of August, 2023, and the programme introduction will take place at 10:15 to 15:00 in room E103 (house E).
What happens this autumn?
The programme starts with taking a broad approach to the field of life sciences. The subject area of the program is introduced in the course "Introduction to Molecular Biodesign" and in "Laboratory basic course" you will also go through the basic training on how to work in our laboratories. In parallel two courses "Basic Chemistry" and "Biological Life Forms and Function" you will be introduced to chemistry and the living world around us. The following study period you will use this knowledge to understand how our cells are constructed and function in the course "Cell Biology".
Preparations
One of the first courses you will take is Basic chemistry. To be prepared to this course I would recommend you to repeat the following basic mathematical concepts,
- percentage
- equations
- rounding numbers
- significant figures
- logarithms
since it will make it easier for you to focus on the chemistry and not calculations.
Welcome!
