The list of mandatory and elective subjects as well as the number of tuition hours required for their completion, and the number of ECTS-credits to be allocated
Chief-coordinator: Blaženka Kos, PhD
Tuition (30 ECTS points) is being earned through the attendance of 3 core (mandatory) and 5 elective courses. The core courses attendance provides for 5 ECTS points per course, while the elective courses attendance provides for 3 ECTS points per course. The PhD studies are designed to provide a PhD student with a great freedom in choosing modules, so that it becomes possible to design the studies of almost exclusively bioprocess (engineering) profile, or the studies targeted more towards (molecular) biotechnology, or the studies of food technology or the studies of almost exclusively nutrition science, or the combinations in whichewer ratio necessary,
When enrolling in the first year of study, three core courses of the selected study direction are chosen for enrollment in the first semester, three elective courses for enrollment in the second semester and 2 elective courses for enrollment in the third semester.
All courses can be delivered in English.
