Dear new student, welcome to the Master programme in biosciences. Registered students have received/will receive an e-mail with an invitation to a mandatory information/welcoming meeting.
Important information about the move to the Life Science Building
The Department of Biosciences (IBV) is currently in the process of moving from Kristine Bonnevies hus to the Life Science Building (LVB). The move is taking place in stages: some IBV sections have already moved, while others will remain in Kristine Bonnevies hus until late 2027.
The information below is primarily intended for new students who will initially be based in Kristine Bonnevies hus. However, even if you will move directly into the Life Science Building, we ask you to read through the information and complete the online form as requested. The information includes practical matters and procedures that are relevant to everyone at IBV.
The information will be updated as the move progresses, and the onboarding pages are currently being revised to reflect the transition to the Life Science Building.
For information about the Life Science Building, please see the webpages LVB2026 Opplæringspilot for Livsvitenskapsbygget (Canvas) and Opplæringspilot for Livsvitenskapsbygningen høsten 2026. These webpages are currently available in Norwegian only; English versions are under development.
Please submit the Self Declaration: Health, safety and environment
Self declaration HSE (online form)
Before you are granted access to the IBV areas, this form has to be filled out and submitted. If you have not submitted the form prior to arrival, please do so on your first day.
HSE: Health, security and the environment (Norwegian: HMS)
Make sure that you have read the information included in the Procedure for general HSE training at IBV (containing important information on asbestos in the walls and heavy metals in some old laboratory faucets). Familiarize yourself with the HSE-work environment regulations for IBV and get in touch with the HSE responsible person (HMS-i) at your section if needed.
