The bachelor’s degree programme in Agricultural Biotechnology focuses on biotechnological methods and procedures used in agriculture. Attention is paid to core theoretical subjects as well as courses oriented towards agriculture and biotechnology. Emphasis is also placed on methods of statistical data analysis and language training. An integral part of the programme is practical training in molecular and biotechnological laboratories. The programme focuses not only on theoretical preparation but also on mastering laboratory techniques and developing students’ ability to work independently. Graduates apply their knowledge and practical experience in the analysis of genes and genomes of animals and plants, in disease diagnostics at specialised laboratories, and in the use of molecular techniques and tissue cultures in plant breeding and plant protection.

Study

Graduates of the bachelor’s degree programme in Agricultural Biotechnology acquire solid theoretical knowledge and practical skills in biotechnological methods applied in agriculture. They are familiar with the principles of molecular biology, genetics, and biotechnology, and are proficient in basic laboratory techniques, including DNA analysis, tissue culture methods, and diagnostic procedures. They have knowledge of statistical data analysis and are prepared to work with professional literature in a foreign language. Thanks to their laboratory training, they are capable of both independent and teamwork in specialised environments. Graduates find employment in gene and genome analysis of plants and animals, disease diagnostics in specialised laboratories, plant breeding, and plant protection, or they may continue their studies in a follow-up master’s degree programme.
