International Bachelor in Natural Sciences

How is the world around us structured, and how does it behave? How can we use scientific knowledge and methods to find solutions for the benefit of the environment, health, disease, medicine, and technology? These are some of the questions you can explore at International Bachelor in Natural Sciences.

The demand for employees and researchers with a natural science education will only increase in the future as the world needs to find new solutions to environmental-, health- and climate challenges. There will also be a need for curious individuals who can use experiments and fundamental theories to figure out how things are interconnected.

As a student you can focus on addressing societal problems such as reducing plastic pollution, restoring biodiversity or combating antibiotic resistance. You can also immerse yourself in scientific issues driven by curiosity and contribute to developing better fundamental understandings of the world around us, both through theories and experiments. You have access to our supercomputer and our new laboratories, which are used by both researchers and students. 

You will be introduced to fundamental theories, techniques, and methods from various scientific disciplines, learning to work across scientific boundaries in collaboration with other students. You will be trained to think like a researcher, and in practice, you will work closely with researchers. 

During your studies, you can choose the academic specialisations that interest you the most. Approximately half of your study will involve project work, giving you the opportunity to pursue your interests by selecting topics and issues to work on.
