I'll summarize my student experience into two sections, first the academics and then the student life. | - Nord university offers - relevantly - a good range of subjects and topics related to biology. From courses oriented towards ecology and biodiversity, to more molecular and genetic focused topics. Overall, the university's research and education plans are more skewed...
Fish Biology
Anonymous rated 2 out of 5 stars
Many of the teachers are not very competent or motivated at teaching. The program is named “biology”, but everything is very fish-focused. The university building is new and neat, with many seminar rooms students can book and use.
