Course content
Pre-diploma practice is a mandatory educational component of the educational and professional program "Biotechnology", the purpose of which is to consolidate and deepen theoretical knowledge gained by the student, as well as to acquire the necessary skills and competencies to conduct experimental research/analysis/development in the field of biotechnology and to write and defend a qualification work. During the undergraduate internship, the student acquires practical skills in working in research laboratories, diagnostic laboratories, and biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, learns the principles and algorithms for planning and conducting experimental research/analysis/development in the field of biotechnology, criteria for evaluating, processing, and presenting the results. The structure of the undergraduate internship ensures that students perform the basic professional functions of the positions for which they can apply after obtaining the relevant degree.
