Biotechnology (double degree)

Joint study programme with foreign universities - two diplomas for one study.

The aim of the study programme Biotechnology is to prepare graduates capable of independent work in biotechnology and other related fields. The study focuses on scientific research and its applications in the development of new products and technologies using the biological agent as the basis of the process. Special attention is paid to the specific properties of microbial, plant, and animal cells and to the acquisition of the ability to apply this knowledge in the development of new products. An integral part is the development of new technical (engineering) solutions to biotechnological processes. The study is therefore focused on a comprehensive studying of theoretical knowledge in chemical, biological, engineering and economic sciences, and on gaining practical experience and skills in the field of management and methodology of biotechnological research. Graduates of this programme can participate in basic and applied research at academic institutions and universities, but they can also participate in practice in the Czech Republic and abroad. Thanks to the double-degree doctoral programme, students will gain valuable professional and language foreign experience as well as interdisciplinary knowledge and transferable skills that will increase their competitiveness and the possibility of finding employment in the labour market. Both the strengths of UCT Prague, consisting of professional background of top academic staff and modern instrumentation equipment, as well as the specific strengths of a foreign partner with a unique and complementary educational and research profile are utilized.
