At the time of graduation, students of the biotechnology study program have the theoretical knowledge, practical skills and abilities in the basic natural science disciplines, especially biotechnology, biology and chemistry, as well as their border areas.
Due to the fact that the program belongs to the study field of Biotechnology, these are mainly subjects emphasizing biotechnological aspects. An important part of the study, in addition to classical chemical and biological subjects, is emphasis
- chemical (general, inorganic, organic, analytical, physical, biochemistry), biological disciplins (microbiology and molecular), genetics, biotechnology (microbial, agricultural, enzymatic and environmental), ecology, but also mathematics, physics and statistical analysis. In the bachelor's study, they also acquire knowledge from selected, specialized areas, such as virology, food quality, nutrition, toxicology, bioinformatics, scientific databases. They improve their knowledge and practice in science English.
They acquire habits for defining scientific hypotheses, preparation of projects (experimental) for their verification, experimental solution, definition of outputs and their characterization, presentation, advocacy and implementation (even in practice).
Bachelor's degree graduates
- have a theoretical knowledge of the structures of prokaryotic and eukaryotic biological systems and the nature of the processes (physico-chemical, biochemical and physiological) taking place in them, as well as the mechanisms of their regulation,
- gain an overview of them and know how to apply them in practice,
- know the basics of methods of interventions in the genome of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, the principles of genetic modification of organisms, basic methods of characterizing genetic changes and gain an overview of the use of genetically modified organisms in various areas of practice,
- are able to prepare biological systems for their practical use and independently solve (manage) partial operations related to their targeted use in the agri-food, pharmaceutical-medical and chemical-environmental areas,
- have sufficient theoretical knowledge and practical experience to carry out laboratory control and evaluation of the data obtained and are able to communicate with an equivalent level of management.
- have knowledge of economic, legal, ethical and environmental aspects of biotechnology, which enables them to apply at the intermediate level of functional activities in the scientific research, production and business sphere.
