Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The project work consists of an independent assignment in biophysics. The subject of the project is determined in consultation between the student and the examiner and should represent an in-depth study within the field of biophysics. The project can take various forms, such as self-studies and simulations or practical work in a research laboratory. The project work should be at an advanced level and correspond to 5 weeks of full-time studies.

Intended learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student should be able to:

  • Apply relevant knowledge and skills previously acquired within the subject area to an advanced problem in biophysics.

  • Within given frameworks, and even with limited information, independently analyze and discuss issues in biophysics.

Literature and preparations

Specific prerequisites

At least two completed courses in the field of biophysics.

Literature

You can find information about course literature either in the course memo for the course offering or in the course room in Canvas.

Examination and completion

Grading scale

P, F

Examination

  • PRO1 - Project work, 7.5 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability. The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students. If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

The examination will be adapted to the design of the projects and may consist of, for example, written assignments, oral presentations, and report writing. This will be decided at the beginning of the course in consultation between the examiner and the student.

Examiner

Ethical approach

  • All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
  • In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
  • In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
