The course comprises approximately 80 full-time study hours in the form of science seminars that are held once a week. The seminars focus on current research in the field of protein science. The course assumes the form of higher seminars where the students present, interpret, analyze, critically examine and actively discuss mainly their own work, but also others' leading research literature in the research field. An important aspect of the course is that the students provide feedback on each other's scientific work. The course is the first of four courses in the seminar series.
