Summary of the Profile

Objective(s) of a study programme:
To deepen and broaden knowledge in biochemistry and related sciences, to understand the achievements and perspectives of biochemistry, to know and understand modern methods and technologies necessary for creative development and implementation of scientific ideas. To master the competences for creative application of theoretical knowledge, methods and technologies of biochemistry and related sciences in research and practical work, ability to work in interdisciplinary areas and use knowledge of different scientific fields. To master the skills to identify and predict the ways of solution of a problem, to solve problems of unfamiliar character, to collect, generalize and critically evaluate scientific information and its reliability, to understand the responsibility for the decisions taken. To master the ability to identify scientific and professional interests in the context of biochemistry and related sciences, to develop learning skills enabling them to continue studying autonomously, to master the ability to communicate knowledge and concepts to specialists and non- specialists.
Learning outcomes:
The graduate will demonstrate: knowledge of modern methods and technologies of experimental biochemistry and related sciences in vivo, in vitro and in silico; ability to integrate the knowledge of different sciences; ability to apply knowledge, methods and technologies of biochemistry and related sciences in research and practical work; ability to select appropriate methods of research and to interpret reasonably the results obtained through those methods; ability to work in the interdisciplinary areas and use the knowledge of different scientific fields in solving problems of the research; ability to perform research and practical work requiring analytical and innovative thinking; ability to plan and conduct research in the field of biochemistry and related fields; ability to be responsible for the decisions taken; readiness to study continuously and autonomously, ability to evaluate critically the novelties in the field of biochemistry and related sciences, ability to improve and update knowledge and skills and to seek new ones; ability to present clearly and scientifically knowledge and concepts of biochemistry to the professionals and non-professionals.
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:
The main subjects are three research projects in each semester ant Master Thesis. Large block of elective courses: Ecological Biochemistry; Mechanisms of Nucleic Acids and Proteins Interactions; Mechanisms of Enzymatic Reactions; Mechanisms of Organic Reactions; Nucleic Acid Chemistry; Molecular Virusology; Cancer Molecular Biology and Imunology; Synthetic Biology; CRISPR-Cas Biology and Applications, Bioethics, Membrane Biology, Microorganism Genetics, Systems Biology.
Access to professional activity:
A graduate is able to work at biochemical and chemical laboratories, industry and trading companies.
Access to further study:
Graduate may applicate for doctoral studies in Biochemistry and Chemistry.
