A degree from BMB can lead to many different professions, and we make sure that our students are well informed in their choice of study and intended career path. The international and multidisciplinary research environment at BMB therefore provides an excellent starting point for a career in biotechnology, biomedicine or bioinformatics.
We maintain a high degree of alignment between our research activities and our study programmes; we teach the science we practice. While students at BMB build a solid knowledge of biochemistry, molecular biology, biomedicine, and bioinformatics they also obtain relevant competences in problem-based learning, project management and sustainability.
We are frontrunners in developing and implementing new online teaching tools to complement our strong focus on wet-lab experimental courses, and thereby increase the quality, flexibility and efficiency of our educations. We engage in international collaboration with other Scandinavian universities to promote and share online teaching modules.
Our study programme in Computational Biomedicine is gaining momentum, and these graduates are in ultra-high demand. We will place a particular emphasis on consolidating this education programme in the coming years through strengthening our bioinformatics courses and recruiting new staff with relevant expertise.
