4 In order for the degree certificate to state that the was completed according to the syllabus for the Bachelor s in biology and science, the following requirements must be met: For the science orientation, 120 for passed course requirements in the following subjects/fields: General chemistry, organic chemistry, chemistry, minimum 15 Biochemistry, microbiology and cell biology, minimum 15 Ecology, minimum 10 Genetics, minimum 5 Geology and hydrology, minimum 5 Life cycle assessment and/or system analysis, minimum 10 (for example the courses Life cycle assessment, 5 (G2F) and Problem solving for scientists, 10 (G2F) Soil physics, soil chemistry, soil biology and physics, minimum 25 (for example basic courses in soil science and physics) Mathematics, minimum 5 impact assessment and/or communication, minimum 10 (for example the course Envionmental impact assessment, planning and communication, 10 ). Diversity of organisms, evolution and systematics, minimum 5 Statistics, 5 minimum Plant physiology and anatomy, minimum 10 Independent project (G2E, 15 ) in science, according to instructions for the. For the biology orientation, 120 for passed course requirements in the following subjects/fields: General chemistry, organic chemistry, chemistry, minimum 15 Biochemistry, microbiology and cell biology, minimum 15 Ecology, minimum 10 Floristics and vertebrate zoology, minimum 10 (for example the courses Floristics and entomology, 5 and Vertebrate zoology, 10 ) Genetics, minimum 5 Geology and hydrology, minimum 5 Soil physics, soil chemistry, soil biology and physics, minimum 20 (for example basic courses in soil science and physics) Mathematics, minimum 5 Conservation biology, minimum 15 (for example the course Conservation biology, 15 (G2F) Diversity of organisms, evolution and systematics, minimum 5 Statistics 5 minimum Plant physiology and anatomy, minimum 10 Independent project (G2E, 15 ) in biology, according to instructions for the. This appendix to the syllabus was approved by the Study Programmes Board on 13 October 2011 (reg no SLU ua Fe ).

5 Appendix 3 to syllabus for biology and science Bachelor s Instructions for independent projects All independent projects (degree projects) must follow the common guidelines that apply for independent projects at SLU (REB , reg.no. SLU ua Fe ). This means that they are to be managed under the same routines and remits as other higher education. Independent projects are tied to a syllabus and the guidelines state that for projects comprising 15 or more, the syllabus must specify that they are to be published in Epsilon and examined for plagiarism in Urkund. In exceptional cases publication may be delayed; if so this must be stated in the student s individual work plan. The individual work plan is to serve as a supplement to the curriculum and must specify how the independent project will fulfil the intended learning outcomes related to the degree. The supervisor and examiner may not be the same person, and the same guidelines apply for independent project examiners as for examiners on other coursesr (REB , reg.no SLU ua Fe ). Agreements with external clients are handled in a separate contract between SLU and the client. In cases where students have an external supervisor there must also be a principal supervisor at SLU who is responsible for ensuring that the project is carried out in accordance with SLU s guidelines and the current syllabus. In addition to the general instructions that apply for all s and to the instructions in the syllabus for independent projects in biology or sciences (Bachelor s project/g2e), an independent project in the Bachelor s - biology and science must be related to the intended learning outcomes specified in the syllabus. This appendix to the syllabus was approved by the Study Programmes Board on 24 April 2008 and applies as of the 2007/2008 academic year.
