Biochemistry and Biomedical Technologies is a full-time, second-cycle engineering study programme offered by the Faculty of Chemical and Food Technology at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. Taught in English, the programme has a standard duration of two years and awards the academic degree inžinier (Ing.). It combines chemical and biological sciences, focusing on biochemical processes in living organisms and their applications in biotechnology, biomedical research, laboratory diagnostics and pharmaceutical development.

Scientific Skills and Career Opportunities

Students develop knowledge of cellular and molecular biology, microbiology, immunology, physiology, metabolism, disease-related biological processes and modern analytical methods. The programme builds practical skills in chemical and biological laboratories, diagnostic procedures, biological sample analysis, scientific research and the interpretation of laboratory results. Graduates can pursue careers as biochemists, laboratory diagnostics specialists, chemical research and development specialists, and technologists in pharmaceutical and biotechnology production. Employment opportunities include diagnostic laboratories, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, chemical industries, research institutions and organisations such as the Slovak Academy of Sciences. Graduates may also continue to doctoral studies in relevant scientific disciplines. The planned student capacity is five for the 2026/2027 academic year and zero for 2025/2026.
