Prerequisites
FAKULTA(FaF) || OBOR(MUSFaF)
Basic knowledge of biology, biochemistry and physics are required
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
The aim of the study is to expand secondary school knowledge of biology so that students gain the necessary basis in terms of content and conceptual area of these disciplines, on the basis of which they could continue to study applied biological disciplines taught at the Faculty of Pharmacy. The study focuses on general, molecular and cellular aspects of biology, evolutionary biology and the basics of genetics. Due to the existence of the compulsory subject Molecular Biology in the 2nd year, this topic is not dealt with more broadly in the subject.
Learning outcomes
Students will gain extended knowledge of basic topics of general and cell biology. Emphasis is placed on the terminology of individual topics, which will allow you to orient and build on them in other related disciplines. The topic of the last lecture opens to students the opportunity to gain insight into the use of biological disciplines in practice. The aim of practical training is to acquire basic manual skills in microscopy and work with biological material.
