Important information for applicants to the Master by Research programmes
Hi, we are pleased to see that you have applied to our Master by Research programme in Biology.
If you are interested in developing your skills and knowledge independently, the Master by Research programme is for you. Studies are primarily carried out in the form of research work. Students are included in an existing research team, and participate as members of the team in an existing research project. For this reason, it is important to present evidence of your personal commitment and previous knowledge in your application.
To be able to provide sufficient proof of your interest and previous knowledge, it is important that you read through the information about the research carried out in your field. You will find more information about the field of Biology at www.miun.se/fscn.
Application and admission:
Assessment is based on previous degree project equivalent to a bachelor’s degree (or higher), letter of motivation or other relevant experience within the subject field.
