Biochemistry
Graduates obtain theoretical knowledge and practical skills from all areas of chemistry and biochemistry and from related disciplines in medicine and biology, including the ability to work with scientific literature and present scientific results in English. Intensive practical preparation and time dedicated to individual projects of the diploma thesis lead to substantial improvement of experimental skills. Graduates are capable to design and perform research projects in biochemistry, biotechnology, molecular biology, clinical biochemistry, environmental chemistry and related fields.
