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.

Suggestions for 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 master 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!
