Summary of the Profile
Objective(s) of a study programme:
To educate specialists for research, development, education, business and public sector to solve problems in modern biomedical sciences, environment and ecology.
Learning outcomes:
Master of Sciences in Biophysics should know the general principles of operation and pathology in live systems, the capabilities and limitations of modern biophysical methods, principles of data analysis and planning of scientific investigation, should be able to constantly renew the knowledge and apply it to solve problems, should be able to transfer knowledge and concepts to specialists and no specialists.
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: Biophotonics, Research Project (I, II, III), Biophysical Nanotechnology, Bio Data Analysis, Lasers in Biology and Medicine. Elective courses: Plant sensory systems, Bioelectric phenomena, X-ray structural analysis of biological macromolecules, Cell biophysics, Neurophysiology, Population models, Biophysics of sensory systems, Synthetic biology, Systems biology, Bioethics, Cell technology, Mathematical physiology, Membrane biology, Neuron biophysics, Biophysics of management processes. Final Master's Thesis.
Access to professional activity:
Master of Sciences in Biophysics can work at high technology industry, research and development, education, medical institutions, private and public agencies where knowledge in a field of biophysics and life sciences are acquired or applied.
Access to further study:
Masters of Sciences in Neurobiology have possibility to continue scientific career in doctoral (PhD) studies in life sciences in Lithuania and abroad.
