The result is the achievement of an advanced knowledge in the field of biotechnology, regardless of the type of previous master's degree. Graduates of the course are able to describe individual findings, but mainly to be able to interpret them in context and apply them to different levels of living systems. If necessary, the addition of highly specialized problems is mastered by advanced procedures of searching and using electronic information sources. The main topic that the student must master and be able to orientate in it is primarily the application of molecular biology in technology and medicine.

Slovak language in combination with English.

Individual student presentations focused on a topic related to currently selected lectures. Subsequent discussion with other students about the presentation. Finally, the evaluation and

guidance of the discussed issues by the teacher. Students must be able to explain the principles

of the methodological procedures used in the individual topics.Ssubsequently, he must be able

to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of individual approaches.

The student will gain a more realistic picture of the latest research projects and fields of study in biotechnology in Slovakia and in the world. He will gain a closer understanding of the context and impacts of the lectured topics in selected lectures, which are built as a problem solution approach - a project, which leads the student not only to learn the facts but to seek methodological approaches; how to uncover the molecular nature of the problem in various areas of biological research.
