Key Summary
The goal of this programme is to educate specialists in research, development, education, business, and the public sector to solve problems in modern biomedical sciences, the environment, and ecology. You will gain a good knowledge of general principles of operation and pathology in live systems, the capabilities and limitations of modern biophysical methods, principles of data analysis, and planning of the scientific investigation.
Why choose this programme?
- An interdisciplinary study programme combines the knowledge of biological systems with modern physics and chemistry methods, mathematical modelling, and data analysis.
- The study program can be individualized/specialized by choosing elective courses and labs for a research project.
A holder of a Master’s degree in Biophysics has good knowledge of general principles of operation and pathology in live systems, the capabilities and limitations of modern biophysical methods, principles of data analysis, and planning of the scientific investigation. The graduate is able to constantly renew the knowledge and apply it to solve problems. He/she is also able to transfer knowledge and concepts to specialists and non-specialists.
- A graduate can work in the high technology industry, research and development, education, medical institutions, and private and public agencies where knowledge in biophysics and life sciences is acquired or applied.
- Can continue a scientific career in doctoral (PhD) studies in life sciences.
