All our courses start with a mandatory introduction meeting. If you do not attend the meeting, you will lose your enrolment in the course.
Around 4 weeks before the start of your course, you will get a welcome letter from our study advisors.
Sometimes our emails bounce or end up among your junk mails. If you have not received a welcome letter before the start of your course or programme, please contact our study advisors Lotta Persmark (biology and bioinformatics) or Christina Ledje (molecular biology).
We arrange introduction activities in August for our master’s programme students. You find the schedule for these activities in the learning platform Canvas.
