Adaptiation and Specialization FSPO 2024

Select adaptation modules to fill potential knowledge gaps. Most student lack introductory biophysics. Many students from live sciences lack higher maths and practical physics skills. Chose accordingly. When in doubt, please see your coordinator.

Important: The adaptation area does not count towards your final grade.

Select courses according to your undergraduate strengths. If you would like to add a course to your curriculum please use the Request for Module assignemet.
