Individual Curriculum
The course provides the students with the opportunity to deepen their knowledge in a scientific topic not covered by other available courses at FBA. The topic is chosen in agreement with a supervisor. The course normally includes independent literature search, a written literature review and an oral presentation.
It is also possible to in-depth oneself in advanced analytical techniques, or learn about specific taxonomic groups, or other practical related topics on advanced level. A close dialogue with a supervisor to ensure a high scientific level and suitable curriculum is demanded.
Indicative information about the course regarding size of the curriculum, literature review, oral presentation and example for practical in-depth possibilities is described in the Canvas room "Master at FBA".
