Medical Biology is a specialisation within the Biology programme (bachelor's, first-cycle studies) at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin. It is taught in English and suits you if you are curious about the human body in health and disease and would like to study biology with a view to medicine or laboratory work.
The programme covers the basic disciplines of biology and biomedical sciences, including:
The Medical Biology programme was designed as an academic bridge, a kind of premedical study, for people who want to become physicians but have not taken introductory natural science courses before. It builds the knowledge needed to enter professional medical programmes and helps to meet the requirements of the MD programme. At the same time it gives a broad foundation in biology, so you are not limited to one path. After this specialisation you can apply biological knowledge in modern medicine and you learn the principles of premedical first aid, both in theory and in practice.
Classes take several forms: lectures, exercises, laboratory classes, field classes and experimental scientific training, so theory goes together with work at the bench and outdoors.
The programme is addressed mainly to foreign students and is taught in English. You study in an international group at the Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology and meet students from many countries. Admission is open to both Polish and international candidates.
Student exchange programmes such as Erasmus+ let you spend one semester at a university abroad, among others in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Slovenia and Turkey.
After graduation you can:
