Jobbsnack för Life Science & Bioteknik

If you are studying the Bachelor of Science Program in Life Science or the Master of Science in Biotechnology program, you have the opportunity to listen to alumni who tell you about what it is like to work and live in the Umeå region.

‍Moderator for this Jobbsnack is Karolina Broman, Chair of the Education committee at the Faculty of Science and Technology. Karolina mostly teaches students at the upper secondary school teacher education programme and the supplementary programme in secondary education. One of her most common and meaningful tasks is to examine teacher students when they do their practice courses in schools. Karolina has worked with Virtual Reality within the Life Science and Biotechnology programmes, as a new teaching approach to visualize chemical structures.
