Majors: Molecular biophysics Medicinal biophysics Optometry Characteristics of the programme and the majors: Full-time second-cycle studies in the programme of Biophysics last 4 semesters (2 years) and finish with the completion of a master’s thesis and obtaining a master’s degree in biophysics. Recruitment for the selected major takes place, but at the end of the first semester students have the opportunity to change the major to one of the three in the degree programme (if it is started). The first semester of studies is common to all majors. Biophysics is a programme of interdisciplinary nature. During their studies, students deepen their knowledge and skills first within the framework of the so-called common subjects, including molecular biophysics, higher mathematics, mathematical foundations of computer modelling and computer modelling laboratory conducted throughout the entire period of study. They gain knowledge of human anatomy, as well as of the impact of electrical and magnetic phenomena, including natural and artificial sources of radiation, on living organisms. They have the opportunity to listen to lectures on the most modern materials used in biology and medicine, including nanomaterials. All lectures are combined with laboratory classes (1/3 hours of the lecture and 2/3 of hours of practical classes in the laboratory), which reflects the experimental nature of the studies. In addition, as part of the specialist laboratory, students get the opportunity to work on unique measuring equipment in research laboratories. From the second semester, next to the so-called joint modules, students have classes related to the selected major. The study programme also includes a specialist English language course and a lecture on the philosophy of nature. The graduates will be able to work in medical, ophthalmological, optometric and pharmaceutical institutions, scientific institutes, enterprises and companies related to health and environmental protection. They will be prepared to independently develop their skills and continue education at the third-cycle studies (doctoral studies).
