Examensarbetet kräver en litteraturgenomgång och specialstudier. Dessutom ingår det ett antal obligatoriska moment, i form av lektioner och seminarier, som behandlar bland annat vetenskapligt skrivande på engelska och svenska, populärvetenskapligt skrivande, akademisk hederlighet och användande av biblioteksresurser. Examensarbetets innehåll och utförande planeras i samråd med en handledare. ExameThe degree project requires a literature review and special studies. In addition, it includes a number of compulsory elements, in the form of lessons and seminars, which deal with, among other things, scientific writing in English and Swedish, popular science writing, academic conduct and the use of library resources. The content and execution of the degree project are planned in consultation with

Kursen behandlar: • Modellering baserad på differentialekvationer: Numeriska metoder för ordinära differentialekvationer och konvergensordning. Tillämpningar rörande exempelvis cellomprogrammering eller sjukdomsspridning mellan städer. • MKMC-metoder: Centrala gränsvärdessatsen, Metropolis-Hastings algoritm och felskattning. Tillämpningar hämtade från statistisk termodynamik. • MaskininlärniThe course treats: • Differential equation based modelling: Numerical methods to solve ODEs and convergence order. Applications to for instance predicting the spread of diseases and cell programming will be used. • MCMC based modelling: Central Limit Theorem, Metropolis-Hasting algorithm and error propagation will be covered with examples from statistical thermodynamics. • Machine learning a

BERN02. Kursens övergripande mål är att låta studenterna arbeta med och kombinera två områden för dataanalys inom beräkningsvetenskap: reproducerbara arbetsflöden och statistisk inlärning. Detta inbegriper att kunna skapa rapporter där programmeringskod, resultat och rapporttext kombineras i samma dokument, tillämpat på ett urval av vanliga metoder i statistisk parametrisk modellering och masBERN02. The overall learning outcome for the course is to let the students work with and combine two fields for data analysis in computational science: reproducible work flows and statistical learning. This includes to be able to create reports where programming code, results and text are combined in the same document, applied on a selection of common methods in statistical parametric modelling an

Denna kurs hålls till stor del som lärarledda övningar. Kursen ger erfarenhet och kunskap i programmering i allmänhet och i Python i synnerhet. Fokus är speciellt på bioinformatiska tillämpningar. Arbetet sker i Linux-miljö och kursen kommer utveckla studentens kunskaper inte bara i Python men också i Bash (kommandoskal) och CGI (Common Gateway Interface).This hands on course will give you experience and knowledge of programming in general and in Python  in particular. The focus is especially on applications in bioinformatics. Working environment is Linux and the course will develop the students’ skills in Python but also in Bash and CGI (Common Gateway Interface).    

Kursens övergripande mål är att den studerande med stor självständighet skall genomföra ett vetenskapligt projekt inom ett väl definierat biologiskt ämnesområde. Du kan göra ett masterexamensarbete i biologi omfattande 30, 45 eller 60 högskolepoäng.You can perform a Master's Degree project of 30, 45 or 60 credits in either General Biology, or one of the specializations Animal Ecology, Aquatic Ecology, Conservation Biology or Plant Science.

Kursen är en avancerad kurs i Ekologi och kan ses som en del i en utbildning inom naturvård. Övergripande målsättning för kursen är att studenterna ska lära sig att med minimal tid i fält skaffa sig maximal kunskap om naturen med utgångspunkt i vad det insamlade materialet skall användas till. Övervakning av naturen innebär i sin strängaste betydelse att undersökaren vet vilken förändring som kan The main objective of this course is that you learn to optimise time in the field in order to obtain maximum information about the conditions and status of the natural environment. Monitoring of nature is based on that the investigator knows what change is expected and can construct a programme, including collection of data and material, which can detect a particular change. You may also do a gene

Kursen är en avancerad kurs i ekologi och fokuserar på artkunskap, metodik och grundläggande ekologi om fåglar. Kursen bygger på lärande av metoder för att studera fåglar i fält, fältbestämning av fåglar (med avseende på igenkänning av arter mha utseende och sång) samt teori om fåglars morfologiska, fysiologiska och ekologiska anpassningar. Mer specifikt innebär fältstudierna att du lär dig grundeThis is an advanced course in ecology that focuses on species identification, methodology and basic ecology about birds. The course is based on learning the basic skills about techniques for studying birds in the field (including visual identification and identification on vocalizations), as well as theoretical moments about bird morphology, physiology and ecological adaptations.
