Our world is facing major challenges, and sustainable solutions will be central to our future development.  Do you want to contribute to solving today's and tomorrow's challenges? This is your opportunity to get a deeper understanding of the limitations and opportunities that lie within the world of biology.

In the first year, you will receive a solid foundation in core courses that prepare you for the second year, which consists of a nine-month real research project. During your research project, you can choose to work in one of the laboratories at the University of Stavanger, with the public sector or in the private sector.  

By the end of the programme, you will have acquired practical and theoretical skills in molecular biology, bioinformatics, and protein biochemistry. You will also get experience with many analytical techniques and research methods. Furthermore, you get skills in presenting scientific results.  

This course is designed so that Norwegian and international students' study together. The lectures are therefore in English.
