The biology education at the University of Gothenburg is one of the most popular in Sweden, and is given by four departments. The teachers and supervisors involved in the programme also perform research in many different fields and are involved in large international cooperations, which enables a tight association between education and research. Arbetsområden Within the programme you have the possibility to focus your studies towards one of the degree projects given in biology: Systematical and Evolutionary Botany, Cell Biology, Ecological Zoology, Genetics, Immunology, Marine Ecology, Microbiology, Plant Ecology, Plant Physiology, Plant Molecular Biology, Zoological Physiology or Zoological Systematics and Biodiversity. Innehåll The programme includes compulsory courses in statistics and science theory, advanced level courses in biology or in other relevant subjects, and a degree project of 30, 45 or 60 higher education credits (hec). The degree project is either strongly connected to research and supervised by one of the research groups at the university, or it is performed outside the university, for instance at the County administrative board (Länsstyrelsen) or at companies within the biological field. The degree project can also be performed at another university in Sweden, or abroad. A personal study plan, including your degree project and theoretical courses, will be put together with the coordinator of the master programme, orienting your studies into one of the fields: Ecology, Physiology, Systematics, Conservation or Cell Biology. The aim is to strengthen your subject specific competence as well as your common knowledge of the biological field and preparing you for working with for example research and development, within or outside the academic world, in areas such as conservation biology, fish management, biotechnology, drug development and food administration. This programme leads to the degree Master of Science with a major in Biology. The degree will be achieved after you have fulfilled the requirements of 120 hec, at least 90 hec of which have to be at the advanced (second) level in biology, including a degree project of at least 30 hec. The courses in statistics (MSA 830) and science theory (NTH101) are compulsory and have to be included in the degree. This means that you can include courses at the bachelor (first) level of up to 30 hec in your Master of Science degree.

Program, avancerad nivå naturvetenskap Ecotoxicology, Master Program, 120 hp Studentcentrum naturvetenskap, Ängemarken 6, 031-786 2833 www.envsci.org.gu.se Studievägledning Karin Karlson, 031-786 2834, karin.karlson@science.gu.se Modern society uses more than 100 000 different chemicals and chemical products, all of them being potentially released into the environment. Ecotoxicology is concerned with the environmental impact of these substances. It aims at characterizing, understanding and finally predicting the effects of toxic chemicals on plant and animal populations, communities and whole ecosystems. As such, ecotoxicology is the scientific basis for environmental frameworks such as for example the new REACH regulation. As an interdisciplinary science ecotoxicology has strong connections to biology, ecology, toxicology, biochemistry, analytical and environmental chemistry, statistics and social sciences. Therefore the ecotoxicology program is run as a collaboration between the faculty of humanities, the zoological department, the department of plant and environmental science, the chemistry department and GU's mathematical sciences. The program first provides an overview of ecotoxicology as a scientific discipline and then you will apply this knowledge in laboratory courses and finally in individual master works. We will put equal emphasis on theory and practice. The aim is to train skills that are necessary for identifying ecotoxicological problems, recognizing essential knowledge gaps and developing appropriate problem-solving strategies. Besides providing an education in ecotoxicology per se, the master program provides tools for self-study towards a set goal - in a team with supervisors and peers. It teaches on how you can communicate within a scientific and public context. Many of the courses use problem-based learning approaches in small groups and ample time will always be given for discussions, exchange of knowledge, and critical reviews. Innehåll The master program is structured in three main parts: - Introduction: Basic courses in science theory, history of science, statistics - Core courses: Physiological and molecular ecotoxicology, ecotoxicology from an ecological perspective, chemical risk assessment - Individual master work (1 year) as member in a research team Arbetsmöjligheter The program is aimed at students with an interest in environmental sciences that have a basic competence in biology, chemistry or related fields. The program leads to a Master of Science degree. Successful participants will have the necessary skills to work either with regulatory authorities, environmental consultants or in chemical industry. It also opens up the possibility to further pursue an international university career in the field, for example as a PhD student. Further information can also be found at www.envsci.org.gu.se/english/ecotox_master/ Examen: Masterexamen Förkunskapskrav: Bachelor of Science (or equivalent) from a university including at least 90 hec in biology and chemistry (with a minimum of 30 hec in biology and 30 hec in chemistry). These prerequisites can be waived if an applicant has verifiable equivalent knowledge/skills. English B level or English proficiency equivalent to IELTS 6.5 no part under 5.5 or TOEFL 575 p, TWE score 4.5 is also required. Urval: Selection is based upon the number of credit points from previous university studies, maximum 225 hec. Start: HT11, 100 %, dag Anm-kod: GU-11897 Fysisk oceanografi, masterprogram, 120 hp Studentcentrum för naturvetenskap, Ängemarken 6, 031-786 2833, www.gvc.gu.se Studievägledning Kerstin Ericson, 031-786 1956, kerstin@gvc.gu.se Den stora utmaningen i fysisk oceanografi är att rörelser i havet samverkar, från turbulens på de minsta skalorna till cirkulationssystem som omfattar hela oceaner. I fysisk oceanografi appliceras mekanik och termodynamik från den klassiska fysiken för att förstå och beskriva processer och cirkulation i havet. Oceanografer arbetar med ett brett spektrum av metoder från avancerade teoretiska och numeriska modeller till högteknologiska mätningar i fält. Utbildningen ger goda förutsättningar för att gå vidare till forskarutbildning eller till arbete i näringslivet. Innehåll Basen i masterprogrammet är två obligatoriska kurser: - Blandning i havet, 15 hp, och Oceanografiska modeller, 15 hp, samt ett examensarbete på 30-60hp. Kurserna går periodiserade vartannat år. Resterande kurser väljs av studenten beroende på bakgrund, antingen avancerade kurser på fil kand-nivå eller från doktorandkurser. Blandning i havet: Kursen är en djuplodande genomgång av hur blandning sker i havet, exempelvis i havets inre genom brytande interna vågor som genereras av tidvatten och vindar, vinddriven turbulens samt konvektionsprocesser i havets ytskikt samt friktionsdriven turbulens i strömmar över havsbotten. I kursen ingår ett fältmoment där turbulens och blandning observeras och kvantifieras med avancerade mät- och analysmetoder. Oceanografiska modeller: Här appliceras hydrodynamiska grundkunskaper i modeller av olika havssystem. Kursen konkretiserar hur hydrodynamiska processer styr olika cirkulationssystem och hur dessa kan kvantifieras. Examensarbete Oceanografi är ett mycket livligt forskningsfält vid institutionen för geovetenskaper. Det finns många potentiella handledare (~15) och åtskilligt fler forskningsprojekt där examensarbeten kan genomföras. Examensarbeten görs ibland i samarbete med näringsliv och myndigheter. Examen: Masterexamen Förkunskapskrav: Kandidatexamen med huvudämne oceanografi eller något av ämnena meteorologi, fysik eller matematik samt har minst 60 hp matematik eller matematik och fysik, eller motsvarande. Urval: Högskolepoäng, max 225 hp Start: HT11, 100 %, dag Anm-kod: GU-11599 Geografi, masterprogram, 120 hp Studentcentrum för naturvetenskap, Ängemarken 6, 031-786 2833, www.gvc.gu.se Studievägledning Kerstin Ericson, 031-786 1956, kerstin@gvc.gu.se Varför bor och verkar en allt större majoritet av världens befolkning i städer och varför koncentreras näringsliv och produktion till urbana regioner? Hur påverkar denna omvandlingsprocess människors livsmiljöer och vardag, kortoch långväga försörjningskedjor, samt mark- och resursanvändning? För att utveckla framtidens städer ställs stora krav på ett helhetstänkande. Det är här geograferna kommer in eftersom geografin är bryggan mellan samhällsvetenskap och naturvetenskap. Det övergripande målet med masterutbildningen i geografi är att utbilda studenter inom ovanstående problemområden på ett sådant sätt att kunskap, färdighet och värderingsförmåga ger en god anställningsbarhet. Arbetsområde Programmet ger dig de verktyg som krävs för att arbeta inom samhälle/ näringsliv med komplexa geografiska problem och frågeställningar och genomföra avancerade planer och utredningar i staden, i relation mellan stad och land samt mellan städer och regioner. Beroende på din profil ger utbildningen specialistkompetens i hållbar utveckling inom områdena stad, land, mobilitet, globalisering och GIS. Exempel på arbetsplatser är nationella och internationella verk och myndigheter, institut, andra verksamheter med miljöansvar som konsulter och företag. Du blir också väl förberedd för studier inom forskarutbildningen. Program som huvudsakligen behandlar miljö och hållbar utveckling, och där mer än hälften av inslagen rör ekologisk, ekonomisk eller social hållbar utveckling. Program som delvis behandlar miljö och hållbar utveckling, och där mindre än hälften av inslagen rör ekologisk, ekonomisk eller social hållbar utveckling. 103
