Minimum college entrance requirements.
Biology is a natural science which aims to explain all aspects of living nature.
The subject is very comprehensive and includes many disciplines which often overlap with each other. Biology borders against, and to a large extent builds on knowledge from other basic subjects such as chemistry, physics and mathematics.
The study is approved and equivalent to studies at other colleges and universities. It is also approved as part of a Bachelor of Science/Master of Science study at the universities and colleges. The study or elements of it is very well suited as part of further education.
The basic courses qualify one to teach in high school. It gives credits, and also exemption from courses in studies as medicine, bio-engineering, pharmacy, veterinary, agriculture- and colleges of fishery and aquaculture. Other combinations of courses within chemistry and biology are also possible.
In combination with lectures, the courses consists of a great deal of practical work in the laboratories. In addition, zoology has a compulsory field course off campus, mainly in local biotopes (marine, limnic and terrestrial), which lasts about 5 days. The field course is arranged in May/June.
Parts of the field courses are to be financed by the students themselves.
The study includes a section of basic terms within biology and chemistry. In addition the students concentrate on marine or helth related courses as well as in biochemistry. The work both in laboratories and the field as well as off campus is a significant part of the course in biology.
Biology with chemistry includes 60 credits which corresponds to a 1 year study.
