Basic level courses

The language of instruction on most of our basic level courses is Swedish. Below you find information regarding the course that are given in English.

Autumn semester - second part, HT2

Curious to learn more about the chemical reactions that take place in all living cells? Acquire in-depth knowledge of the processes that take place at the cellular level, such as metabolism, enzyme catalysis and regulation.

The aim of the course is to provide in-depth knowledge and an increased understanding of chemical reactions taking place in the cell, with a focus on the structure and function of proteins, enzyme catalysis and metabolism and signaling of the cell. The students also gain practical skills in experimental biochemistry, basic skills in bioinformatics, and the ability to communicate biochemical content using appropriate language. After the course, the students will have a good foundation for in-depth studies in biochemistry and nearby areas.

The course runs in English during the second part of the autumn semester HT2 and in Swedish during the second part of the spring semester VT2.
