Online courses
By the 2007 course revision three new online courses aiming to prepare new students for the IFM programme, were introduced. The online courses are offered those lacking the necessary background in biology, economics or social science in their previous bachelor degree. The new online courses are free and represent also an offer to students having the sufficient background already, but who want to refresh their knowledge within the different disciplines.
