Project course in plant biology 15 credits

About the course

Registration for the course requires that the student, in cooperation with a supervisor, has written a course plan for the course that contains a timetable that complies with the expected study results and approved by the course coordinator. The student is part of a research group during the project as a trainee responsible for a separate sub-project. The goal for the sub-project can be defined freely according to the course objectives and the project work is dimensioned as a research project corresponding to 100 percent study rate for ten weeks. Training in research accounting is included as part of the course content and in cases when the main supervisor is not available a substitute supervisor should be appointed. For students who apply for this course from other places than Umeå, it is recommended that the student has contact with the supervisor at least two months before the start of the course.
