Biology - Arctic Animal Physiology
| Biology - Arctic Animal Physiology |
The Master`s discipline in Arctic animal physiology focuses on physiological adaptations to life at high latitudes in fishes, birds and mammals. Particular emphasis is placed on how these animals cope with the climatic variability, extreme light-dark cycles and large seasonal fluctuations in food availability that are all typical of their environment. Physiological adaptations of diving birds and mammals, which are abundant at high-latitudes, also represent an important topic.
The Master’s program consists of 60 ECTS with courses and 60 ECTS with the Master’s thesis.

The Aurora is one of the most spectacular and exciting light phenomena in the Polar night sky but is not yet quite understood. Tromsø is in a unique geographical position to study the Aurora Borealis and the upper Polar atmosphere, and we have long traditions since the early 1900's within this field of research. The Auroral Observatory in Tromsø formed the original basis of the physics studies at the University of Tromsø. Today, the activities have been extended to research on the solar corona, the Sun-Earth interaction, and the upper atmosphere. Researchers at the Department of Physics and Technology work with data from the EISCAT radars and other instruments at Ramfjordmoen, Svalbard, and Andøya, with numerical modelling, and with laboratory experiments (Aurolab).

| Visual Culture Studies |
VCS offers a two-year full-time Master's program in Visual Cultural Studies. The students at the Master's program follow compulsory courses, and conduct an individual research project, consisting of fieldwork, writing a Master's thesis and making an ethnographic film.
It´s intended that the audio-visual material elucidates both the researcher´s and the informant´s perceptions of a given social situation. Film also creates a particular kind of knowledge that can often supplement textual representations.
The exam films produced at VCS are well known for their quality. Every year several films are selected for international documentary film festivals. The originality of the program has led to a special educational prize from The University of Tromsø and and a further award for educational quality from the Ministry of Education.
|
