Topics in biomedical sciences

In this minor four topics in biomedical sciences are discussed, in addition there is an open slot in January to give you the flexibility to choose another course of your own interest. Some courses cover topics that are not discussed in detail in the bachelor programme (Allergy & Immunity), other courses will go into greater depth in certain topics (Bicohemistry of diseases, Mechanism of diseased brain) and Experimental Immunology will show you, hands on, how immunological research is performed and interpreted. The minor is advanced and interdisciplinary and is a good preparation for various master programmes.
