Study programmes

The graduate of the Master study program in Biochemistry is educated in biochemistry from the theoretical background to extensive experimental skills. Depending on the selected specialization, the graduate will extend the knowledge in molecular biology and genetics, xenobiochemistry, clinical biochemistry, and enzymology. Scientific research and the courses performed during the study program completed by the Master thesis, prepare the student for the subsequent scientific specialization. The graduates are prepared to use advanced experimental techniques commonly used in biochemical and molecular-biological laboratories. In addition to the Master thesis, the students could obtain further experimental experiences during an internship at cooperating departments, where they solve research projects depending on the laboratory specialization. Moreover, they participate in a particular research group, where they design and realize experiments. The graduates can therefore evaluate, present, discuss and defend experimental results in oral and written form.
The graduate is prepared to solve scientific problems in subsequent doctoral study, as well as perform research in the various scientific or scholar laboratories in the Czech Republic or abroad.
The graduate can be employed in the university or clinical laboratories, in pharmaceutical institutions, at government departments, as well as in the national or international commercial sphere, such as companies distributing chemical, pharmaceutical products or laboratory appliances.
