About the course

The course aims to enable the students to identify artificial and biological interfaces relevant to biomedical surface science.

This course is offered as part of programme:

Course content

Biomedical surface science is discussed defining the concept of artificial and biological interfaces. The role of artificial and biological interfaces in research and development of biomedical and biotech industries is emphasised. The main molecular, surface chemical and biological phenomena at artificial and biological interfaces are discussed with focus on their applications in biomedical methods and products of biomedical technology. The development and growth of biomedical and biotech industries worldwide and at the Malmö-Copenhagen (Öresund) region are analysed.

Entry requirements

1. Bachelor’s degree (180 credits) or equivalent with a major in chemistry, biochemistry, biomedical technology, biomedical methods and technology, biomedical laboratory science, or in other areas of natural, medical, engineering sciences or technology of relevance to the programme with a minimum of 15 credits in chemistry and/or biochemistry.
2. The equivalent of English B, or English 6, in Swedish secondary school.

Course evaluation

The course coordinator/examiner is responsible for ensuring that two course evaluations will be conducted for the course. A preliminary course evaluation will be conducted upon the completion of half of the course. The results will be compiled and relayed to the students as soon as possible. The results will be presented on the course website and will be relayed to students during lesson time. A summary course evaluation will be conducted in connection with the completion of the course. The course coordinator will relay the results to the students at a prearranged time. Memory notes from the feedback, including proposals for changes to the course, will be documented and made available on the course website, and will also be relayed to the students who begin the course the next time it is given.
