A graduate of the follow-up three-year master's program of Parasitology and Infection Biology, which is taught exclusively in English and is intended primarily for foreign students, has expertise in various parasitic and pathogenic organisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, helminths, and arthropods), the causative agent of various diseases in humans, but also domestic animals. He has theoretical knowledge and practical experiences and skills on the detection and identification of various pathogenic agents, but also on their life history, pathogenicity, and epidemiology. Graduates of this master's program are familiar with the general methodology of biological work as well as with several special methods ranging from cellular and molecular biology, immunology and biochemistry, through bioinformatics and taxonomy to epidemiology and GIS methods. They are able to solve theoretical and practical problems related to diagnostics, control, and research of parasites and other pathogenic agents of infectious diseases at multidisciplinary level, both in health care (e.g., in diagnostic laboratories) and in basic and/or applied research, in the governmental but also in the commercial sphere, especially in the pharmaceutical industry or biotechnology companies.
