Course Description

Course Profile

Aim of the programme:

Biotechnology is a multidisciplinary field of study that combines knowledge from life sciences and engineering. Its primary goal is to utilize living organisms in product development, testing, and manufacturing. In addition to general topics, students have the option to specialize in plant, animal, and microorganism biotechnology, which equips them with practical and theoretical knowledge. Our objective is to provide a strong foundation for future careers in the food and pharmaceutical industry, diagnostics, plant breeding companies, research institutions, and various other sectors. We place particular emphasis on cutting-edge topics such as bioinformatics, genomics, nanobiotechnology, and genetic engineering. Upon graduation, students will possess the skills to plan and execute biotechnological experiments and processes, as well as generate, interpret, and report high-quality biological data. They will also be adept at evaluating the suitability of specific methods and devices.

Main mandatory subjects:

• 1 Year: General and physical chemistry, Botany, Animal anatomy, Mathematics, Physics and biophysics, Information technologies, Organic chemistry, Cell Biology, Animal histology, Ecology, Design thinking.

• 2 Year: General genetics, Biochemistry, General microbiology, Plant physiology, Animal physiology, Physiology of microorganisms, Engineering of biotechnological processes, Molecular biology, Basics of genetics and animal breeding, Enzymology and Biochemical technics, General virology.

• 3 Year: Genetic engineering, Basics of bioinformatics, Design and development of technological lines, Biotechnological methods in environmental protection, Physiomics, Immunology, Cell and tissue cultures, Industrial biotechnology, Social and legal aspects of biotechnology, Statistics.

• 4 Year: Chemical safety, Seminar, Graduation workshop, Professional practice.

• 1-4 Years: Each year there is a variety of facultative subjects covering specific biotechnology related topics.

Internship, practice: completion of practice (160 h/4 weeks).

Career prospects: Pharmaceutical industry; Crop improvement companies; Clinical research; Food industry; Diagnostics laboratories; R&D institutions; Public administration related to above mentioned.
