The Faculty of Science offers the study in the cross-border study programme Biological Chemistry. The study in this study programme is in English and is carried out in cooperation with Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria. Biological Chemistry is an interdisciplinary field of life sciences, and the study programme offers a broad education in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, molecular biology, biophysics, bioinformatics, structural and systems biology. It is unique in its emphasis on multidisciplinarity, comprehensive thinking, international teamwork, and communication skills. The cross-border bachelor's study programme Biological Chemistry benefits from high-quality chemistry programmes and research at the Faculty of Technology and Science JKU in Linz and biology/biochemistry programmes and research at the Faculty of Science USB in České Budějovice. The advantage of the study is not only the receiving of an excellent knowledge of the English language, but also broad knowledge in chemistry, biology, and related fields. Students of the double-degree bachelor's study programme Biological Chemistry work on two separate bachelor theses and thus receive two BSc degrees and diplomas, one from the University of South Bohemia and the other from Johannes Kepler University. The thesis at USB is oriented more into biochemistry, molecular & cellular biology, biomedicine, bioanalytical chemistry, -omics and similar topics, while the thesis at JKU is more chemistry oriented. You can continue your studies in the joint master's study programme Biological Chemistry, working on one master thesis and receiving one MSc degree and diploma from the university where you write the thesis. You can apply to studies in bachelor study programmes usually in March every year.
