University of Turku

The biology studies give the students readiness to comprehensively understand the different phenomena of life from the interaction between molecules to the function of the ecosystems. The education at the Department of Biology includes both theory and methodology. The research methods connect the theory to the students’ own observations and research results. Living life is studied during practical training courses both in nature and in the laboratory.

Research covers biological phenomena from the level of the ecosystems and populations all the way to the cellular and molecular levels. Many of our projects are multidisciplinary and involve the fields of physiology, genetics, ecology and environmental biology, among others. Our department participates in two central areas of research specified in the University of Turku Strategy: Ecological Interactions and Ecological Genetics Research and Molecular Biosciences. In addition, a Nordic Centre of Excellence status has been assigned to the Nordic research group in tundra ecology.

Ecological Interactions and Ecological Genetics Research, Molecular Biosciences

The objective of the bachelor’s degree of the biology is that the student understands the principles of function of organisms from the molecule level even up to the ecosystem level. The student knows how new information in the field of the biology is produced, it is able to look for information independently and is able to estimate its reliability and is able to report the research results with its native language.

There is two specialisation tracks: ecology and evolutionary biology track and physiology and genetics track. In ecology and evolutionary biology track degree programme, organisms and the operational principles of the systems that their environments create are studied on the genetic, individual, population, colony and ecosystem levels. In physiology track student learns how to study the structure of organisms, their vital functions and heredity on molecular, cellular and individual level, to produce and evaluate new information and to report the research results to the scientific community.

Studies at the bachelor level are organised in a way, that they meet the requirements of the Eurobachelor label in Chemistry. At the master's level, students can specialise either in teacher education, materials chemistry & chemical analysis, or organic chemistry & chemical biology.

Research at our department is focused on two different branches of chemistry and therefore research activities are divided between two laboratories: (1) the Laboratory of Materials Chemistry and Chemical Analysis, and (2) the Laboratory of Organic Chemistry and Chemical Biology. The major research topics cover the traditional sub-disciplines from inorganic and analytical chemistry to organic and physical chemistry. - Bio-organic and bioinorganic chemistry; - New materials research; - Natural compound chemistry.

Materials Chemistry and Chemical Analysis, Organic Chemistry and Chemical Biology

Objectives of the bachelor level studies in chemistry are: Knows the basic concepts of the different fields of the chemistry, a terminology and theory and is able to follow the development of the discipline, can operate safely and independently in the laboratory, can use central quantitative and qualitative analysis methods, can use most of the common chemical synthesis methods and separation methods, can use the scientific literature of the field and can understand the significance of the source criticalness.
