Summary of the Profile of study programme
General Description: The aim of the study program is to prepare specialists in Agricultural Sciences who are able to develop and implement sustainable, innovative, and competitive bio-business models by using interdisciplinary knowledge of the management of components of biological systems, information technology, economics, management, and financial management in order to achieve the objectives of the European Green Deal on the basis of research and analysis of market developments and bio-business models. Biological Systems Management is an interdisciplinary, wide-scope study program that allows students to acquire knowledge and skills in other fields, which can be applied when working in various bio-business sectors, enabling them to understand, develop, and manage technologies used in a variety of modern biological systems. The program applies innovative study methods and aims at active participation of students in the study process. During internships, students are provided with an opportunity to get acquainted with the elements and technologies of biological systems. In the 4th year of studies, depending on the needs and the number of students in the program, students are allowed to choose one of the offered specializations, which cover various areas of bioindustry. Specialization studies are organized when a cost-effective group of students is formed.
Upon completion of the study program, a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Sciences is awarded.
