Bachelor's thesis in Biology

Students carry out a research project, individually or in pairs. The content and form of the project are selected in consultation with the supervisor and the course coordinator. Projects build on the students' previous studies in Biology and constitute specialisations in relation to previous studies. Parallel to the project, the course includes a mandatory literature module and participation in research seminars arranged at Karlstad University or other higher education institutions.

Instruction is provided in the form of supervision throughout the course. The completed project is presented in the form of a written thesis, which is presented orally and peer reviewed.
