Pregraduate Program

(part of "Course in Basic Human Biology and the Chemical Foundation of the Body")
Teaching can be conducted in Danish or English.

Course Manager: Hanne Cathrine Bisgaard hcb@sund.ku.dk
Participants: 1^st semester odontology student
In the course on basic human biology and the chemical foundation of the body, students will receive a thorough introduction to the basic functions of the healthy body's chemistry, physiology, and anatomy. The teaching of the chemical foundation of the body includes, among other things, the structure of molecules, organic compound groups, nomenclature, metabolism, acid-base relationships, solubility conditions, redox conditions, osmotic conditions, buffer systems, and pH.

ICMM has sub-course management.
Teaching can be conducted in Danish or English.

Sub-course leader: Hiren Joshi Joshi@sund.ku.dk

Participants: 2^nd Semester Medical students.
The student achieve a basic understanding of medical data used in the diagnostic process and patient treatment. The student gain insights into different data categories, data quality, data management, the use of artificial intelligence, as well as the legal and ethical aspects of data in clinical practice and research. This knowledge enables the student to apply data-related considerations in concrete clinical situations after completing the course.

Teaching can be conducted in Danish or English.

Course Manager: Simon Bekker-Jensen sbj@sund.ku.dk
Participants: 3^rd semester Engineering in Medicine and Technology (MedTek) students.
Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to explain the structural composition and function of the cell; describe biotechnological methods and the principles of genetic information; elucidate the mechanisms of cellular communication with their environment; and account for the three-dimensional organization of tissues, with particular emphasis on muscle and bone.

Teaching is conducted exclusively in Danish.

Course Manager: Jørgen Olsen jolsen@sund.ku.dk
Participants: 1^st semester medical students.
The course provides the student with knowledge of and understanding of the biological processes of the head, neck, musculoskeletal system, and peripheral nervous system at the cellular, organ, and whole body levels. The teaching should provide the students with knowledge, terminology, and a description technique that can be used in patient examination and communication with patients and with other practitioners. This knowledge must be based on a thorough understanding of the morphology, interrelations, and function of the anatomical structures. The course also includes embryology, introductory cell and tissue biology, humans as a species, and the history of human development.

Most of our research groups are happy to welcome students who wish to do their bachelor's thesis or master's project at ICMM. Contact a specific group leader directly, or look at the list below over 

Available bachelor's and master's projects at ICMM

Bachelor project 5 ECTS (Medicine)
The Bachelor's project can be written in Danish or English.

Participants: 6^th semester Medical students.

Prior to the actual preparation of the bachelor's project, the student must, in collaboration with the supervisor, formulate a problem statement that is the focal point of the bachelor's project. The purpose of the bachelor's project is for the student to analyse and process a self-chosen issue within a relevant, defined health science topic. The project is based on a literature study or on empirical data collected by the student or provided by the supervisor.

Master's Thesis 22.5 ECTS (Medicine)
Project work and research are carried out within the supervisor's research group.
The purpose of the master's thesis is for the student to learn to work independently on a scientific project conducted in collaboration with a research group over a period of at least 16 weeks. Furthermore, the student must learn to communicate the project's results and conclusions both in writing and orally, using the scientific communication tradition of the relevant subject.

To be able to supervise bachelor projects, master's theses and other major projects, one must be employed as a lecturer at the university in one of the following positions:

• Postdocs, provided that the course "Introduction to University Pedagogy" or equivalent has been completed
• Assistant professors
• Associate professors
• Professors (not adjunct professors)
• External lecturers (must be approved by the head of department)
• Clinical professors
• Incl. clinical associate professors.
• External clinical lecturers (must be approved by the head of department)
