Education
The teaching at CMPS is based on a fundamental approach to the chemistry of life and the list of courses covers the very broad and deep competence among the teachers.
Our courses are run at undergraduate and Master'ss levels, and provide basic knowledge of the molecules of biological systems, their structure and interactions and enzyme reactions. Experimental work, being a central topic in any research in biochemistry and biophysical chemistry, includes laboratory practicals where the students learn planning, running, documenting and analyzing experiments.
Courses given at CMPS
Here follows a list of all courses with links to the current syllabi. The specifical course content available to enrolled students is accessed through the learning platform Canvas.
