Science

Program Overview

The programme is implemented without specialization. The bachelor’s degree programme Science (studyscience.eu) responds to the need to educate professionals in the natural sciences with a strong interdisciplinary focus. The programme effectively links biology, chemistry, and physics and is currently the only one of its kind in the country. The significant interdisciplinary overlap of BSc Science graduates enables them to tackle challenging research tasks and interdisciplinary projects using both traditional and modern approaches. Graduates of the programme will also gain the fundamentals of artificial intelligence (especially machine learning) and a number of soft skills. A large part of the teaching will be provided using proactive techniques and the active involvement of students from the very beginning (“active learning” and “flipped learning” will be adopted for the specific needs of the programme). The implementation of the Science programme is based on the principle of 2 + 1 years, where the first two years of study will be common to all students in the programme, while the third one will be fully dedicated to the field of study chosen by the student (biology, chemistry, or physics). During the first two years, students will gain a solid basis in mathematics, computer science, programming, and soft skills (roughly one-third of the credits). The remaining credits (for the first two years of study) will be divided equally between biology, chemistry, and physics. After mastering the common basis in the first two years, the student will choose one of the three areas to fully focus on for the final year of study. Depending on this choice, therefore, the student will acquire knowledge in biology, chemistry, or physics that will enable him/her to study in relevant postgraduate programmes.
