Are you curious about biological control? Then you have come to the right place! Do independent work on bachelor or masters level with us that can be linked to ongoing research projects at CBC.
Bachelor thesis can be made in the form of literature studies. You can choose to do a study related to our research or in a field you are interested in.
Independent work on bachelor or masters level can also be made in the form of test-based studies. They are often linked to ongoing research projects. Contact us and we will come up with an exciting idea together!
Here, we have collected examples of master and bachelor thesis work done with the SLU Centre for Biological Control.

With a grant from the Swedish government, SLU runs the Centre for Biological Control (CBC), which, with a focus on pest control with living organisms, contributes to a sustainable use of biological resources. CBC is a competence driven actor in biological control, both nationally and internationally.
