Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Know the basics of general physics, according to the school physics curriculum; the basics of algebra and geometry, according to the school curriculum and the basics of the course "Higher Mathematics".
2. Be able to apply previous knowledge of school physics, algebra and geometry; solve basic types of physical problems.

Course content
Within the framework of the academic discipline "Physics", the basics of mechanics, molecular physics, thermodynamics, elements of electricity, magnetism, wave optics, atomic and nuclear physics are taught. This academic discipline is designed to form deep and systematic knowledge of the basic physical laws, general forms of motion of matter, in particular, mechanical, thermal, electrical, etc.; skills in mastering the methods and principles of planning and performing a physical experiment, as well as calculating errors. The discipline is designed to form in the student a scientific and methodological basis for solving theoretical and practical problems in the field of biotechnology and bioengineering.
