BABB500: Bachelor\'s thesis in biology (10 ECTS)

STADS: 04015601

A supervisor contract and project statement must be handed in.

Submission is conducted electronically via https://blanket.sam.sdu.dk/form/101/submit. Submission must take place no later than 1 week after the semester has started, but it is recommended, that it is handed in as soon as possible. The contract must be approved by supervisor, study committee and the head of studies.
Please note: If the project is carried out in a group, only one joint contract is to be handed in, stating the names of all group members.

Be aware that it is not possible to fill in the form after deadline of submission, since the application system will shut down. The system will reopen in connection with the next course registration, then you can fill out the form for the next semester.

Course introduction
The bachelor’s thesis represents the completion of the bachelor’s programme in biology. The project is thus intended to document that the student has acquired the professional knowledge and the theoretical and methodological qualifications that enable the student to identify, formulate, solve, and discuss issues related to a specific biological subject.

The project explores a relevant research question, chosen within any field of biology. The research question is examined from a theoretical and practical scientific perspective by means of the student’s own theoretical analyses and, possibly, experimentation and/or mathematical modelling, and by use of relevant scientific literature. The project is completed by the submission of a scientific report.



Qualifications
After the completion of the project, the student can:

  • solve a biologically relevant assignment independently and in a targeted manner, possibly in collaboration with others,
  • handle complex, developmental situations in professional contexts,
  • identify own learning needs and structure own learning,
  • present the results of a project clearly and concisely to peers and other stakeholders.
Expected learning outcome
After the completion of the project, the student can:
  • Identify and formulate biological issues and plan the gathering of experimental and/or theoretical knowledge for their solution,
  • analyse and apply the obtained research-based knowledge,
  • explain the scientific theories and models applied,
  • evaluate and generalise own results based on existing knowledge
  • structure and manage the implementation of a biological project, and generate results that match the time invested.
Subject overview
The subject of the project is determined in collaboration with a supervisor, and the project description is approved as part of the bachelor’s project contract by the supervisor, the department, and the study board.

The bachelor’s project includes:

  • The independent delimitation, solution, and discussion of a biological issue.
  • Supplemental studies within one or more fields of science relevant to the solution of the project.

Further information concerning the selection, structure, implementation, and completion of the project may be found in ”Guide til Bachelorprojekter på Biologisk Institut” on the department’s homepage.
