Biochemistry

Within the Biochemistry master's program, the specializations are: Analytical Biochemistry, Biochemistry, Biomolecular Chemistry, Genomics and Proteomics, Bioinformatics. The common unifying subject of the biochemical foundation of all specializations is the subject Advanced Biochemistry. The goal is to provide students with a high-quality education in basic biochemistry, emphasizing both the rapidly developing state of knowledge in biochemistry and modern methodological procedures. Here, we respond to new trends in research and practice and incorporate information relevant to top-notch instrumentation acquired at MU, e.g. within the CEITEC institute. The main goals of the study specializations will be to prepare graduates for the rapidly growing amount of information and the necessity to combine interdisciplinary approaches in the study of living systems in the post-genome era. The basis of this interdisciplinarity in the study of biological systems is primarily the approaches used by contemporary biochemistry, analytical and structural chemistry. The study is focused on mastering chemical and biological, but also physical principles, bioanalytical procedures and methods to educate experts who will be able to creatively apply their knowledge in practice and to solve tasks that they did not encounter during their studies. Graduates should have the knowledge and skills both for going directly into practice and for further study within doctoral study programs, e.g. the existing Biochemistry, Genomics and Proteomics and Life Sciences programs.

Practical training

Practical Training is a recommended optional part of the studies.

Graduates of the program's specializations have the knowledge and skills to go directly into practice - companies and research organizations active in the biochemical and biotechnological sectors, bioanalytical laboratories with advanced instrumentation - enzyme and immunoassays, nucleic acid diagnostics, proteomics. They can, however, continue further studies within doctoral study programs, e.g. the existing Biochemistry, Genomics and Proteomics and Life Sciences.

This study field is possible to study only in Czech language.

Minimum score and numbers of accepted applicants in past years

Graduates are able to continue their studies within the framework of doctoral study programs, e.g. at the MU PřF, the existing programs are Biochemistry, Genomics and Proteomics and Life Sciences.
