Learning outcomes:

The qualification holder will be able to:

(general competences)

  • postulate, understand and creatively address problems, principles and theories,
  • think critically, analytically and synthetically in biological sciences,
  • demonstrate mastery of practical and general skills related to the field of work,
  • show a sense of professional and ethical responsibility,
  • develop linguistic and numerical literacy,
  • demonstrate familiarity with the technical terminology of the field,
  • use information and communication technologies,

(subject-specific competences)

  • carry out research,
  • demonstrate mastery of theoretical and practical knowledge about the universality of life processes and the numerous variants that exist as a result of various ecological niches, and their molecular and structural relationships and genetic diversity,
  • demonstrate knowledge of molecular and functional biology, which is today of key importance in understanding physiology, systematics, evolution of organisms and also development and exploitation processes for biotechnological purposes,
  • demonstrate mastery of new approaches to addressing biological problems.

Assesment and completion:

Examination performance is graded as follows: 10 (excellent); 9 (very good: above-average knowledge but with some mistakes); 8 (very good: solid results); 7 (good); 6 (adequate: knowledge satisfies minimum criteria); 5–1 (inadequate). In order to pass an examination, a candidate must achieve a grade between adequate (6) and excellent (10).

Progress:

Students may enrol in the next year if by the end of the academic year they have completed all course units prescribed by syllabuses and accumulated at least 60 ECTS credits.

Progression:

Third-cycle doctoral study programmes (SQF level 10)

Conditions for obtaining a public document:

In order to complete the programme, students must complete all course units prescribed by the study programme.
