4.18 University of Helsinki, Laboratory for Instruction in Swedish
Overview
The Laboratory for Instruction in Swedish at the UH Department of Chemistry has
the responsibility for BSc teaching in the Swedish language, and the teaching at this
level covers inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. In addition, the unit offers
graduate and postgraduate courses as well as supervision of MSc theses within the
unit’s research profile, that is, theoretical and computational chemistry. Graduate
courses and MSc thesis supervision are offered also in organic chemistry. The unit is
rather small, with one professor and 3–4 senior researchers and lecturers. In addition,
the unit has on average had 1–2 postdoctoral researchers and four postgraduate
students. The small size of the unit combined with the diversity of topics that need to
be covered in the curriculum gives the unit challenges in terms of staff to keep an
active and homogeneous research profile. The funding of the unit has been fairly
evenly divided between core and external funding, where the Academy of Finland
and graduate schools cover 30 per cent of the total funding.
