Course Description

Course Profile

Human being – cells, organs, organism and processes in health and disease

The programme is dedicated mainly to foreigners. Our Bachelor's degree in science (BSc) Medical Biology programme has been designed as an academic bridge (premedical studies) for students interested in pursuing a career as a physician, who have never before taken introductory natural sciences courses. The programme advances students’ knowledge necessary for entry into the professional programmes in medicine and helps them to fulfil the MD programme requirements.

These undergraduate studies offer also a broad-basis curriculum in biology underlying the basic training for the professional biologist, biochemists, microbiologists, and biophysicists as well as provide a strong foundation for many other career opportunities. The learning outcomes provide our graduates with professional skills and knowledge required for work in medical laboratories, research institutions, sanitary-epidemiological stations, and science-based industries.

The graduate of the BSc Medical Biology programme has knowledge of basic disciplines of biology and biomedical sciences, including: microbiology, human anatomy, parasitology, genetics with elements of human genetics, radiology, elements of pathophysiology, basics of pharmacology, biochemistry of nutrition, applied biology in medicine, biological basics of phytotherapy, physical basis of instrumental diagnostics and physiotherapy, human immunology with elements of virology, pharmacological botany, biomaterial engineering in medicine, and biochemical methods in clinical analysis.

Training is given through: lectures, exercises, laboratory classes, field classes as well as experimental scientific practical training. The best internationally recognized scientists of the University belong to the teaching staff for this programme.

The Medical Biology BSc programme is in compliance with European teaching standards. Therefore, our graduates may choose to continue studying at master degree level at UMCS or elsewhere in Poland or in the European Union countries.

The study programme does not include internship.

Job opportunities

A Bachelor's degree in science provides strong transferable skills for a variety of careers. Our graduates would enter biology, biotechnology and technology related careers in scientific or engineering research and development, in science-based industries, medical biology and in teaching.

Opportunities during your studies

Specialization – you will gain unique, practical skills, ensured through a cutting-edge curriculum which is based on an analysis of the needs of employers in the labour market and on student interest surveys, as well as through additional courses and  trainings.

Development and cooperation – you can be active in numerous Student Scientific Clubs (e.g. Student Scientific Club of Biologists, Microbiologists, Biochemists, Biotechnologists, Neurobiologists, Phytochemists, Animal-Plant Interaction Students’ Group, Nature Photographers) and take part in interesting research projects, educational actions and events popularizing science (e.g. Lublin Science Festival, Mobile Science Festival, Night of Biologists, Fascination of Plants Day).

Comprehensive soft (human) skills – you will learn to solve problems, analyse data, be creative and influence reality; individually and in teams. These are key skills for your future career.

Innovation – your studies require a creative approach to understanding the functioning of living organisms. This will enable you to see a world from a new perspective, which is a sought-after trait in the job market.

Science in practice – you will have an opportunity to use the knowledge and skills gained during our courses studies in professional practice, which you can complete in diagnostic and analytical laboratories of health care institutions, laboratories of pharmaceutical, veterinary, biotechnological, cosmetic and forensic companies, sanitary-epidemiological stations and scientific institutions.

The whole world at your fingertips –  you will join the unique multicultural, multinational society of our Faculty and the University located in Lublin – being an academic city and European Youth Capital 2023. You will meet students from all over the world and reputable international team of academic teachers and researchers. Moreover, in frame of student exchange programmes (e.g. Erasmus+) you can spend one semester studying at universities abroad (including in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Slovenia, and Turkey).  

Specially after specialization Medical Biology:

•      You will acquire the knowledge and skills to apply biological achievements in modern medicine.

•      You will learn in theory and practice the principles of premedical first aid.
