Dear all,

The new NordProt web site is up and running and so we now need to advertise the new international MSc in Protein Science and Biotechnology. Since time is very short this year we plan to do this by word of mouth i.e. to send an email with an advert to all of our contacts. Since we have so many nationalities in the department and so many international collaborations listed we should be able to get it placed reasonably widely.

So please send emails to all of your international contacts requesting that the attached advert but put on their student noticeboard and that they bring it to the attention of any students they think might be interested. Since we want to monitor where we send it vs where we get applications from, please could you send a list of who you send it to in the format: Insititute, country to Jaana Jurvansuu [jaajurva@cc.oulu.fi]. Since the deadline for applications is 31st January we need to send the advert out ASAP and your help is very much appreciated.

Finally to remind you while the new international MSc will start in Sept 2007, the new MSc degrees aimed at our new BSc students will start in Sept 2008. Details should be available in 6 weeks or so on the updated departmental web pages.

Thanks and best wishes,

Lloyd
