Summary of the Profile

Objective(s) of a study programme:
To prepare specialists having basic knowledge and skills in life sciences with the emphasis on genetics, which would create basis for their successful carrier in all bioscience-related areas.
Learning outcomes:
To develop theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to explain genetic regulation of structure and functions of biological processes in living systems, practical skills to perform contemporary genetics laboratory procedures, to work with standard biomedical science equipment, apply methods of bioinformatics, critically evaluate information in the area of genetics and related sciences, solve problems of familiar and unfamiliar nature, analyse novel problems and plan their solution strategies; skills to communicate effectively, to work individually and in a team, organize and plan their time, study and continuously develop their professionalism and general literacy.
Activities of teaching and learning:
Lectures, laboratory work, practical training, seminars, consultations, self-study.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
The main form of evaluation is an examination. However, courses units may be evaluated by the pass/fail evaluation as well. Every course unit is concluded with either a written or written-oral examination or pass/fail evaluation. Student's knowledge and general performance during the exam are evaluated using grading scale from 1(very poor) to 10(excellent), or by pass or fail evaluation in the cases when pass/fail evaluation is foreseen as a final evaluation of the course unit.
Study subjects (modules), practical training:
Obligatory courses: General and Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Linear Algebra and Analytical Geometry, Mathematical Analysis and Differential Equations, Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics, Biological Physics, Subject English, Structural Cell Biology and Cytogenetics, Biological Diversity, Genetics Principles and Concepts, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Human and Animal Physiology, Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Laboratory Methods of Genetic Research, Ecological and Population Genetics, Microorganism Genetics, Gene Engineering, Virusology, Human Genetics, Plant Molecular Biology, Developmental Biology and Genetics, Course Work, Functional Cell Biology, Epigenetics. Elective courses: Neurobiology, Applied Computing, Biotechnology, Immunology. Molecular evolution. General university electives (GUE). Practices: two Professional practices in research laboratories of research and business institutions. Bachelor's thesis.
Distinctive features of a study programme:
Programme provides with the modern knowledge and practical skills in genetics and other life sciences, which constitute a strong basis for further studies and professional career in rapidly developing areas of genetic technologies, biomedicine and biotechnologies.
Access to professional activity:
Graduate could find a situation in enterprises of biotechnology and microbiology, at reseah institutes, clinical and private laboratories. After additional training in the field of educology, the graduates also could teach biology at secondary schools.
Access to further study:
The holders of Bachelor degree could continue their studies in such Master degree programmes as Genetics, Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Neurobiology, Biophysics, Medical Biology and Medical Genetics.
