Programme description

  • Introduction

    None.

  • Required preliminary courses

    Individual written exam, 3 hours.

    The exam result can be appealed.

  • Learning outcomes

    All printed and written aids.

    Calculator.

  • Teaching and learning methods

    After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

    Knowledge

    The student:

    • has a basic understanding of the principles of molecular biology
    • can explain how biotechnological production organisms are generated through classical mutagenesis, protoplast fusion and recombinant DNA technology
    • can describe how DNA is amplified using PCR and real-time PCR (qPCR)
    • can outline how hybridisation techniques such as Southern blot, northern blot and colony hybridisation are used
    • can name different biotechnology methods and processes
    • is familiar with the principles for microorganism growth and the production of biomolecules in fermenters
    • can explain the structure of viruses, how viruses infect cells and develop in both lytic and lysogenic cycles
    • can explain non-specific and specific immunity and the structure and function of antibodies in the body

    Skills

    The student is capable of:

    • selecting restriction enzymes and vectors in recombinant DNA technology
    • transforming bacteria with the use of electroporation
    • using techniques to isolate DNA fragments from agarose gels
    • concentrating DNA fragments with the use of PCR
    • can genotype using real-time PCR (qPCR)

    General competence

    The student:

    • is capable of planning and performing biotechnology and molecular biology laboratory experiments
    • demonstrates awareness of ethical consequences of genetic engineering methods in connection with the development of genetically engineered organisms, foetal diagnostics, forensic analyses and DNA analyses in connection with genetic disorders
    • is capable of assessing and communicating results from biotechnological and genetic engineering laboratory experiments, both orally and in writing

  • Course requirements

    All aids, not communication with others.

  • Assessment

    The course builds on ELFE/MAFE/KJFE1000 Mathematics 1000 or MEK1000

  • Permitted exam materials and equipment

    Grades are awarded on a scale from A to F, where A is the best grade, E is the lowest pass grade and F is a fail.

  • Grading scale

    The course has an overlap of 10 credits with MAPE2000, KJPE2000, EMPE2000 and DAPE2000, and an overlap of 5 credits with DAPE2000 and ELTS2000.

  • Examiners

    One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.

  • Overlapping courses
