Students' opinions

MSc studies on Biotechnology are exceptional. We can develop our scientific English to publish, read, and communicate with other scientists abroad. Sometimes we speak only English all day! We are broadening our knowledge in medical biotechnology by practical classes, laboratories, and in silico analyses. Biotechnology on the Faculty of Biology is also an opportunity to meet people from different cultures, speaking foreign languages - it's like ERASMUS, but in Poland.

Student, IInd year of MSc Biotechnology programme

Biotechnology in English is a perfect opportunity for all students who are interested in molecular biology focused on medical aspects. During courses I explored knowledge concerning human genetic disease, particular methods to figure out new pharmaceuticals basing on novel scientific discovery, molecular therapies starting to be used as a cure of prior incurable disease. Moreover it was a chance to improve English skills and increase the level of scientific part of this language. I recommend this field of study all young people who believe they can in the future contribute to science on medicine development.

I chose that subject as a continuation of my fascination with biotechnology began during bachelor programme at the Adam Mickiewicz University. It was an excellent choice! I not only deepened my previous knowledge but also found many new interesting techniques and skills, useful in my future carrier.”

Student, Ist year of MSc Biotechnology programme

In my opinion Biotechnology in English is one of the most promising course as a master programme. On the one hand I could study in foreign language, generally used in scientific environment and had a contact with young scientists from different countries studying with me. On the other hand I was able to study extremely fast- growing area of science.

Alumni of MSc Biotechnology programme

Studies in English open up new opportunities, especially in the field of Biotechnology. I chose this direction without hesitation. Specialized subjects made it possible to learn about the latest trends in science. Additionally, I developed my soft skills, which made my Erasmus studies much easier.
