Key learning outcomes The aim of the doctoral study program Biophysics is to prepare through work on a scientific project qualified researchers with the highest level of education for work in a multidisciplinary field based primarily on physics, but also including chemistry and biology, with the prerequisites for work in laboratories focusing on research, development, or control activity. Graduates will be able to work independently on research projects and their application in a highly competitive environment of international research and development. Ability to work in a research team is also essential, present their proposals, process and critically interpret the results and outputs, whether in the form of scientific publication or applied outputThe goal of this program is to further develop the additional skills needed for scientific work: to orientate oneself in scientific literature, to communicate with the scientific community, to design experiments and implement appropriate methodologies for them.
