The aim of this paper was to describe how changes of laboratory training and project based learning were implemented in order to train the students in making a study design, basic laboratory skills, handling of data, technical communication, collaboration and presentation. The implementation of CDIO learning concepts was not directly reflected in the standard course evaluation; however, the students reported an increased coherence and synergy between course elements and an improved academic understanding.
