Additionally, we study how microbes in the Anthropocene act as sinks or sources of various greenhouse gases.
Projects offered to B.Sc. students enrolled at SDU
First year B.Sc. project
First year research project
10 ECTS
These projects are offered within the framework of the BSc program to all students from natural sciences and pharmacy at the University of Southern Denmark. They can be carried out by groups of 3 to 5 students. The projects differ every year and are typically linked to the most novel research activity in our labs. The course ends with an interfaculty poster conference where students showcase their research.
Third year B.Sc. project
Independent BSc study activity in biology
5/10 ECTS
These projects are offered within the framework of the BSc program to any students at SDU Biology in their late second or third year of study. The projects are one semester-long. Based on the research interest of the student, he or she typically contacts a PI, to carry out a research project related to the PIs investigation line.
Third year B.Sc. thesis
BSc thesis project in biology
10 ECTS
Thesis project are obligatory research projects offered to all students at SDU Biology in their third year of study. The projects are one semester-long. Based on the research interest of the student, he or she typically contacts a suitable PI, to carry out a research project related to the PIs investigation line.
