The aim of the educational program is to form universal, general professional and professional student competencies in accordance with the requirements of the educational standard of higher education in this field of study. Tasks provided by educational standards are supplemented taking into consideration the traditions of the university and the needs of employers.
Tasks in the field of research activity are: basic research in the biological sciences; the development and improvement of mathematical, physical and chemical methods used in genetics; applied biological research.
Tasks in the field of teaching activity are: the development of training courses in genetics with the use of the results of author's research, including the preparation of teaching materials, textbooks; teaching genetics; supervision of student research.
An applicant to the educational program should be prepared for activity that requires advanced research and teaching training and has to possess the following competencies:
general cultural competencies: the ability to abstract thinking, analysis, synthesis; readiness to act in unusual situations, to bear the social and ethical responsibility for the taken decisions; rediness to self-development, self-fulfilment; self-realization, the use of creativity;
general professional competencies: readiness for oral and written communication to meet the challenges in professional activity; readiness to lead a team in the field of their professional activities, tolerant perceiving of social, ethnic, religious and cultural differences; ability to make organizational and administrative decisions;
professional competencies: the ability to summarize and estimate the results obtained by other researchers, to identify promising areas, to make a research program; the ability to prove the relevance theoretical and practical significance of the selected research topic; the ability to perform independent research in accordance with the program; the ability to present the results of the research to the academic community in the form of an article or a report.
The total labour intensity of the post-graduate program is 8640 hours, or 240 credits.
