Jagiellonian University in Krakow

Studies in the field of biology allow to obtain reliable and detailed knowledge of biological sciences with particular emphasis on biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, bioinformatics, cytology, physiology and environmental biology. A large number of practical classes allows for the development of valuable skills, in particular the ability to analyze biological material using specialized equipment and analysis of processes taking place at various levels of the organization of the cell and organism. Graduates are prepared to work in various research laboratories.

The three main areas of specialization in biology are human biology, environmental biology and molecular biology with particular emphasis on plant and animal development biology, cell biology, neurobiology, biochemistry, plant and animal physiology. Scientific research conducted by biology students allows them to prepare for work in research laboratories. Our students conduct a series of interdisciplinary studies explaining the mechanisms of the impact of the environment on the quality of life of animals and people.
