Cell Biology
The course concentrates on central themes and experimental methods used within cell biology. The course is meant to give an understanding of basic mechanisms and principles. After completing the course the students should have a good understanding of eukaryotic cell structure, growth, differentiation and specialisation as well as cell-cell co-operation.

Grading form
The grade requirements within the course grading system are set out in specific criteria. These criteria must be available by the course start at the latest.Formats and requirements for examination
Passed written exams. Attendance of obligatory activities and approved presentation of compulsory elements, including laboratory reports.
The compulsory moments consists of introduction lecture, laboratory work with following discussions and group exercises.
If a student has failed an examination, the examiner has the right to issue supplementary assignments. This applies if it is possible and there are grounds to do so.
The examiner can provide an adapted assessment to students entitled to study support for students with disabilities following a decision by the university. Examiners may also issue an adapted examination or provide an alternative way for the students to take the exam.
If this syllabus is withdrawn, SLU may introduce transitional provisions for examining students admitted based on this syllabus and who have not yet passed the course.
For the assessment of an independent project (degree project), the examiner may also allow a student to add supplemental information after the deadline for submission. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
Other information
The right to participate in teaching and/or supervision only applies for the course instance the student was admitted to and registered on.
If there are special reasons, students are entitled to participate in components with compulsory attendance when the course is given again. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
