Teaching

Environmental microbiology group is mainly responsible for the teaching in different courses. We teach in English the courses: 

 

1) Health Related Environmental Microbiology (next time in autumn 2008, each second year),

2) Advanced Studies in Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology (next time in January-February 2009, each year).

 

These two courses can be a part of Master's Degree Programme in Environmental Biology and Biogeochemistry (EBB). Besides that EBB-students get extra teaching in microbiological methods - if needed.

 

The other courses are in Finnish, but they could be given in English. These are:

 

1) General Microbiology for Natural Science students in each September-October

2) Environmental Microbiology starting at the end of January up to the first days in March in each year

3) Environmental Problems in Rural Areas each second September, next time in 2009

4) Food Hygiene, each year in March

 

In addition to the microbiological courses mentioned above, we are responsible for the water courses of the Department:

 

5) Water Chemistry, each September-October

6) Water Treatment, each October-November

7) Laboratory Course in Water Chemistry and Treatment, each December-February

8) Hydrobiology, each February-March

9) Advanced Water Chemistry and Treatment, every second spring

 

In addition we teach parts of the courses:

 

1) Preparing Personal Study Plan for the first year students

2) Waste Treatment and Management in each spring

3 Introduction to Environmental Protection, each autumn

4) Environmental Cell Biology (next time in late spring 2009, each second year)

5) Soil Ecology 2 (next time in late spring 2008, each second year).

 

Besides courses many students have annually made their doctoral thesis works, M. Sc. or other thesis works in our projects. We have also supervised many theses works done outside of the university.
