Course content
Educational practice in biology is a mandatory educational component of the educational and professional program "Biology", the purpose of which is to consolidate and deepen the theoretical knowledge obtained by the student, as well as to acquire the necessary skills and competencies for conducting experimental research in various branches of biological science. During educational practice, the student gets an idea of the methodology of conducting scientific research, gets acquainted with the principles of planning and conducting experiments, methods of biological research, rules for processing and presenting scientific results, algorithms for searching scientific literature and its critical interpretation. An important component of practice is the formation of the student's idea of the organization of science in Ukraine and the world, including information on the scientific directions of work of leading domestic academic institutes, scientific projects and developments of the Institute of Biology and Medicine, international grants, scholarships, schools, etc.
