Study

Graduates of the programme will acquire modern skills and knowledge in the field of so-called omics methods (i.e. high-capacity analysis of the genome, transcriptome, proteome or metabolome) and genetic engineering, which represent a technological revolution in biological research and increasingly contribute to breakthrough discoveries in biology and medicine. Graduates of the programme will also be able to use or even develop bioinformatics tools for the analysis of large biological data produced by the omics approaches. Studies in the new programme will be conducted entirely in English, which will increase the international competitiveness of its graduates and the attractiveness of studies for foreign students. Students will thus be educated in an international and multidisciplinary environment that will better reflect the reality of work in an increasingly globalized and integrated world economy.
