About this program
Bioengineering
Soya beens, corn, cotton and many other produts on the shelfs of our shops arrive genetically modified. Genetic engineering is a huge achievement of scientific research that aids in solving the world-wide problems. Using the methods of gene transfer, natural evolution is speeded up, therefore it is possible to create the plants that are resistant to the pests, to reduce the starvation in poor countries, and also to find the medications against previously incurable diseases.
Bioengineering combines two important research fields – Natural sciences and Engineering. The profesionals of this area use the knowdge of Engineering and Technologies in Medicine and Biology.
The aim of the programme is to prepare the professionals that possess the fundamental knowledge in both natural sciences and engineering and are capable of using the theoretical knowledge when solving practical problems.
Program content
Students will acquire fundamental knowledge and skills in microbiology, biochemistry, cell biology, gene and biochemical engineering, the modelling of the biological systems.
Students will be acquainted with the technological processes and will understand the importance and influence of the engineering solutions on development of the society.
Students will learn to think critically and creatively, and will be able to apply the acquired practical knowledge both in industry and scientific research institutions.
