About the study
Do you want to be an active part of the fight against new life-threatening diseases or work for a more sustainable future? Then this is the place for you!
This discipline is one of three specializations included in the Master's Degree Progam in Molecular Sciences.
What will you learn?
After completion of the programme, the candidate:
Knowledge
- has an overview of discipline-relevant scientific approaches to analyse and understand molecular properties and processes
- has thorough knowledge of theory and methods used in molecular sciences
- has advanced insight into international research and development within her or his discipline
- has acquired advanced knowledge and understanding needed to contribute to innovation and discovery within her or his discipline
Skills
- can independently use and analyse various sources of information to structure and formulate scientific arguments
- can independently produce and analyze data, products and results employing discipline-relevant scientific methods, instrumentation, and software
- can critically analyze and evaluate the quality of data and results
- can conduct scientific work and document results in accordance with applicable standards and norm for research ethics
- can carry out independent limited research under supervision
- can manipulate and study biological macromolecules at DNA and amino acid levels experimentally (recombinant protein production) and/or computationally (bioinformatics)
- can study structural, functional, and biophysical properties of biological macromolecules experimentally (crystal structure determination, intermolecular interactions, enzyme function) and/or computationally (molecular modelling, drug design)
- can apply informatics tools to analyse biological macromolecules and their properties at genetic sequence and/or amino acid and/or structural levels
General competence
