Ph.D.Biotechnology of Pharmaceuticals

The aim of the Ph.D. programme in Biotechnology of Pharmaceuticals is to prepare highly qualified graduates with profound theoretical and practical knowledge for independent creative work, especially in scientific institutions and universities with a scientific focus and for leading positions in research and development groups of industrial companies with a business focus on biotechnological processes, production of pharmaceuticals and medicine products, and ensuring their safety and quality. The course of study provides sufficient scope for the study of advanced forms of biological, analytical, statistical, engineering, and technological disciplines and their application in experimental work, which is a core part of the study programme. The study programme also aims to prepare the graduate for international collaboration, which is provided through study abroad and presentations at international conferences. The concept of the study programme requires mastery of independent scientific work, development of creative skills and own inventiveness, and a high level of critical thinking. The teamwork skills necessary in contemporary scientific research are developed as well as the necessary "soft skills".

Graduates of the study programme will be broadly educated professionals in biological, bioengineering, analytical, and technological disciplines, which will enable them to find employment, including leadership positions, both in academia and in the application sphere, in research and development groups of research institutes, universities, and industrial organizations dedicated to biotechnological processes (development, management, control) leading to the production of drugs and pharmaceuticals. The educational profile of the graduate will also enable employment in bioanalytical laboratories, control organizations, relevant areas of government administration, etc. Graduates will be equipped with all the knowledge and skills necessary to operate in an international environment. Graduates will gain extensive experience in the preparation and management of scientific research projects, in the critical analysis and interpretation of results, and will be able to present their results and knowledge in the form of lectures and scientific publications.
