Description of the program implementation
The second-cycle programme of study in Molecular Biotechnology is run in English. The programme encompasses 4 semesters of courses (year I – winter and summer semester, year II – winter and summer semester). The number of ECTS points required for graduation is 120.
The programme comprises:
a. compulsory courses (53 ECTS points), including specialization courses and the courses in the humanities and social sciences, two diploma seminars, a foreign langauge course, practicum in thesis preparation and occupational safety and health training.
b. elective courses (67 ECTS points), including: Laboratory Practice – part 1, 2 and 3, as well as specialized elective courses.
While attending compulsory and elective courses the students obtain advanced knowledge in, among other fields, biotechnology, biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology and bioinformatics, as well as in selected issue in the humanities and social sciences. The students are required to attend two diploma seminars (2nd year of study, winter and summer semesters).
They attend a course in a foreign language that is credited with an exam for two semesters in the 1st year of study and that matches their language skills. They may choose a course in a different foreign language or be exempt from a course in a foreign language as long as they can submit a certificate of the English language skills (following the rules which are in force at the Jagiellonian University).
Among elective courses there are specialized courses which the students choose during two years of study, following their own academic interests (22 ECTS points). Among those courses there is also Laboratory Practice (part 1,2,3) (45 ECTS points). Although Laboratory Practice (part 1,2,3) has a set number of hours and ECTS points, the students may choose where to take it (either a lab or a department at the Faculty of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Biotechnology or an institution/unit outside the Faculty, as long as they obtain a permission) and the subject of the research project (from among those listed). The courses enable students to acquire more advanced knowledge in selected fields of biotechnology, including the subjects related to the research project carried out as a part of the diploma thesis, to develop and improve the use of selected research methods, to develop and improve planning and executing experiments, as well as to document, examine and present obtained results. To graduate the students need to prepare and submit a diploma thesis and to pass the final examination.
Graduation
To graduate, the student is required to prepare and submit a thesis and to pass the final examination. The student works on his/her thesis under the guidance of the thesis supervisor.
The thesis should offer a solution of a given scientific problem and should contain original research results obtained by the student in the field of broadly understood biotechnology. He/she prepares the written thesis following the rules that apply to original academic publications on biology and specified in detail at the Faculty of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Biotechnology. The student may take the final examination when he/she meets the requirements set in “Regulation for first-cycle, second-cycle and long-cycle study programmes”.

Student zalicza Pracownie (cześć 1, 2, 3), które mają zadany wymiar godzin i liczbę ECTS (w sumie 45 ECTS), tj.: Pracownia (część 1) - w semestrze letnim I roku - 8 ECTS, Pracownia (część 2) - w semestrze zimowym II roku - 17 ECTS, Pracownia (część 3) - w semestrze letnim II roku - 20 ECTS. Studenci wybierają miejsce ich odbywania, tj. Pracownię/Zakład Wydziału Biochemii, Biofizyki i Biotechnologii lub miejsce poza Wydziałem (za odpowiednią zgodą) i tematykę projektu badawczego (spośród dostępnych do wyboru). Na tych Pracowniach studenci rozwijają i doskonalą warsztat technik badawczych oraz prowadzą pod nadzorem obranego promotora projekt naukowy. Wyniki badań uzyskane w czasie realizacji tego projektu stanowią podstawę pracy dyplomowej. Oprócz wyżej wymienionych Pracowni (części 1, 2, 3 - 45 ECTS), student wybiera specjalistyczne przedmioty (kursy) fakultatywne. Podczas odbywania tych specjalistycznych przedmiotów fakultatywnych student zdobywa 22 ECTS (w semestrze zimowym I roku - 4 ECTS, w semestrze letnim I roku - 10 ECTS, w semestrze zimowym II roku - 5 ECTS, w semestrze letnim II roku - 3 ECTS).
The students are expected to credit Laboratory Practice (Part 1, 2, 3), which have a set number of hours and ECTS points (total 45 ECTS points), that is: Laboratory Practice (Part 1) in the summer semester of the 1st year, 8 ECTS points, Laboratory Practice (Part 2) in the winter semester of the 2nd year, 17 ECTS points, Laboratory Practice (Part 3) in the summer semester of the 2nd year, 20 ECTS points. The student choose where to do laboratory courses, that is a Laboratory/Department of the Faculty of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Biotechnology or a place outside the faculty (required prior consent) and the subject of the research project (from among those offered). While attending Laboratory Practice (Part 1-3) the students develop and master research skills and carry out an academic project under the supervision of the selected dissertation supervisor. The results obtained are the basis of the dissertation. Apart from Laboratory Practice (Part 1, 2, 3) – 45 ECTS points, the students select specialist elective courses, which are worth 22 ECTS points (in the winter semester of the 1st year – 4 ECTS points, in the summer semester of the 1st year – 10 ECTS points, in the winter semester of the 2nd year – 5 ECTS points, in the summer semester of the 2nd year – 3 ECTS points).
