Introduction and welcome letter
All our courses and programmes start with a mandatory introduction meeting. If you do not attend the meeting, you will lose your enrolment in the course. The spring term starts on 18 January 2021.
In good time before your course starts, you will get a welcome letter from our study advisors. If you are a master student the welcome letter may also contain information about how you choose courses within your program.
Sometimes our emails bounce or end up among your junk mails. If you have not received a welcome letter four weeks 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.
