Microbes are the unseen majority on earth. They are found essentially everywhere where there is liquid water and their activities strongly affect all other forms of life. Whatever part of biology you are specialising in, knowledge about…

The course deals with vision and other types of photoreception, olfaction, taste, hearing, equilibrium, mechanoreception, pressure reception, electroreception, magnetoreception and senses for temperature and heat radiation. All senses are…

This course is aiming to provide understanding and practical knowledge of the fate, uptake and effects of anthropogenic pollutants in the environment. We study and apply ecotoxicological theories, models, and common methods and approaches…

Neurobiology is an internationally important research field where biological basic research and medical research come very close. We teach an introductory course that will allow you to continue with more specialized courses, a degree…

Bacteria make up the foundation of the biosphere and sustain all life on earth. This course provides insights into how genes are organised and regulated in bacteria and in their viruses. The course comprises molecular biology of genes,…

This is an advanced course, focused on the theoretical background of population and community ecology. Various topics such as competition, predation, community ecology and trophic interactions are treated in lectures, article seminars and…

In this course you will acquire a deep knowledge and understanding of how plants function at different levels of organization, from molecular biology to ecophysiological level, including: the structure and properties of cells, the life…

In the soil and plant ecology course we explore the intersection of biological, chemical, and geological processes that shape the soil environment. In an era of unprecedented human-induced environmental change, research in this field is…

The course covers the structure and function of the immune system, as well as immunological processes at different levels (organism, organ, cell and molecular levels). The following topics are treated: Innate immunity, including e.g…

The aim of the course is that the student should acquire an overall view on organisms and abiotic preconditions in aquatic systems from source to sea.  The course includes structure and function of aquatic ecosystems, aquatic…

The general aim of the course is that the student should acquire knowledge and understanding of concepts and processes in aquatic systems from individual to system levels, as well as be able to apply adequate methods. The course contains…

The general aim of the course is to enable students to understand the aims, theories, models and methodologies of contemporary evolutionary biology, and how these are applied to different biological systems. The course will enable…

The central topic of the course is evolutionary theory and its ecological applications. The course focuses on processes at both gene- and individual level, with an emphasis on animals. The course is divided into different parts based on…

The course deals with the structure and function of the genetic material in eukaryotic organisms. Genome organization and mechanisms for gene expression are studied on an advanced level, with a strong connection to the most recent research…

The bryophyte lineages – mosses, liverworts and hornworts - originated and diverged during the early colonization of terrestrial habitats by plants. You will study representatives of these lineages to learn about their morphological…

The overall goal of this course is to give in-depth knowledge in evolutionary plant ecology, including plant evolution, adaptation and speciation as well as how these processes are affected by life history, reproduction and…

Since the middle of the twentieth century, Asian countries have been at the forefront of developmental revolutions and the site of developmental ‘miracles’, making the region a perfect lens for analysing and understanding the emergence of…

The course situates body politics within broader regional and global contexts, and also emphasises the local particularities of how such politics are articulated and manifested. By engaging with topics ranging from military prostitution…

Initially, the course covers the fundamental theories of international relations and then provides a brief historical overview, with an emphasis on the post-war period. Subsequently, the course focuses on the following key regional issues:…
