7 Biological and Life Sciences Degree Programs in Poland

Do you want to try something new at our University? When your friends were browsing social media, you preferred to create development projects? Are you familiar with sustainable development and a responsible approach to business? We will teach you everything at the Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences.

Study what makes a real difference. Step into Genetics and Experimental Biology! Genetics and Experimental Biology is the first-cycle degree program that provides reliable and in-depth knowledge of biological processes at the cellular and molecular levels. During lectures and laboratories, you will find answers to all your most pressing questions.

Environmental and Plant Biotechnology (EPB) is a unique Master's Degree program offered in English for students from around the world who wish to be at the forefront of biotechnological developments. EPB gives the opportunity to get the knowledge and skills in modern methods and techniques of environment preservation, reclamation, and use in a sustainable manner for human benefits. Biotechnology, combining the newest scientific achievements, technological advancements, and the application of living organisms like microbes and plants, gives invaluable and unlimited possibilities to interact with the environment in a responsible manner, the environment we all live in and benefit from.

Biodiversity is at the heart of environmental science, addressing some of the most pressing global challenges, from climate change to species conservation. The Integrative Biodiversity programme provides an interdisciplinary approach to understanding and protecting the natural world. Students will develop expertise in biodiversity research, evolutionary processes, and conservation strategies while gaining practical experience in laboratory and fieldwork. With a strong emphasis on scientific communication and teamwork, this programme equips graduates with the skills needed to make a real impact in biodiversity conservation and environmental management.

Molecular Biotechnology is a graduate (second-cycle) program of studies that leads to a Magister degree (Polish equivalent of a Master's degree). The study program is made up of compulsory courses and elective courses. Compulsory courses allow broadening your theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the following areas: molecular biotechnology, genetic engineering, biochemistry, cell biology, medical biotechnology, plant biotechnology, bioinformatics, the application of biotechnology in environmental protection, and protection of industrial property and copyright.

Our programme is of great interest; first and foremost because it is based on the study of Biology but has the specialization of Palaeobiology – such a combination is rare these days. It includes both biological and geological disciplines, and, certainly, purely palaeobiological subjects as well.

Cooperation with excellent neurobiologists, molecular biologists, and biochemists. Scholarships for all doctoral students. Trips to conferences abroad. Emphasis on ambitious experiments, with lectures limited as much as possible. In short, this is how the path to the Ph.D. title at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology at the Polish Academy of Sciences looks like.
