Summary of the Profile
General Description:
Objective(s) of a study programme:
To prepare prepare specialists with high quality and up-to-date training in a highly interdisciplinary field of Applied biotechnology with a focus (specializations) on Plant (Horticulture, Agriculture and Forest) Biotechnology and Innovative Bioelectrotechnologies, who would be able developing new products and technologies, work in positions with high levels of responsibility in research and study institutions and industry, or pursue their studies at the doctoral level
Learning outcomes:
Demonstrate, apply and integrate extensive knowledge within the different fields of Applied Biotechnology; Employ of the core principles and methodologies underlying current biotechnological research; Distinguish and analyse principles and problems of plant, forest, agriculture and bioelectrotechnologies and be able to use this knowledge in research and development work; Demonstrate the awareness and appreciation of the forefront of biotechnology; Demonstrate and operate of the core principles, methods and methodologies underlying current biotechnological research; Demonstrate and categorize molecular, cellular and biotechnological knowledge to design biotechnological systems, processes, and their elements; Employ scientific information databases and other reliable information sources for finding information and obtaining required data on a specific biotechnology problem or method; Demonstrate ability to plan and conduct analytical, simulation and experimental research on analysing or solving a particular biotechnology problem; Search, interpret and compile relevant scientific literature; Critically analyze and evaluate the data obtained from different sources or from practical experiments and draw conclusions; Describe, illustrate, interpret, analyse and evaluate the possibilities of plant and forest biotechnology as well as innovative bioelectrotechnology applications from a technical and a societal point of view; Analyse, monitor and measure the quantitative and qualitative physical, chemical, biochemical, molecular or other properties, events or changes, systematically record, analyse and document the obtained results; Apply molecular, cellular, biotechnological methods needed to carry out projects in plant and forest biotechnology as well as innovative bioelectrotechnologies; Demonstrate ability to use innovative approaches in solving biotechnological problems and the implementation of solutions; Demonstrate the ability to work collaboratively on biotechnology projects involving typical business timelines; Employ acquired knowledges and competences to systemically, critically, and creatively solve complex problems during communication and collaboration with colleagues and supervisors; Demonstrate excellent understanding of the effects of technological and engineering solutions on the public and environment, compliance with the rules of professional ethics and technological and engineering activities and awareness of responsibility for technological activities; Demonstrate ability to work as an individual and as a member of a team in the laboratory or the company; Demonstrate ability to function and communicate (in both oral and written forms) effectively with collaborators as well as in national and international context
Activities of teaching and learning:
Presentation of information (including multimedia methods), explanation and illustration of theory, consultations, workshops, laboratory training, data analysis, analysis of scientific resources, experimentation, development of experiment, scientific and industrial process planning and development, practical group work including leading capabilities and following the lead development, individual single and multiple task and problem solving by example and practical work.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Testing, conversation, problem solving, specific tasks, colloquium, reports and data presentation, result evaluation, exam
