Contents

Students who are interested in pursuing a research project and have at least 180hp, corresponding to 3 years academic training. Students choose their own supervisor; the course leader does not arrange such pairing. Contents: 4.5hp Classes in oral presentation techniques and academic writing, biostatistics, information retrieval and literature handling, and research ethics. Included is also an information day about the graduate student status. It should be possible for the student to have these points acknowledged in the future graduate student education. Some classes are identical with the compulsory basic courses for Ph.D. students at the Medical Faculty. The schedule may vary between spring- and autumn term; 25.5hp Independent research project of six months in a chosen research group. The supervisor needs to have a Ph.D. The project is summarized in a manuscript written according to the Instructions for Authors for the journal CELL. A “letter to the editor” will accompany this manuscript. In a 15-minute seminar on a specified presentation day at the end of the semester, the student will present the project and also act as an opponent for one of the classmates.
