Masters in Biotechnology and plant breeding

The program educates specialized experts for plant breeding and modern biotechnology. Graduates of the program have deep knowledge of molecular and population genetics, including plant biotechnology. A graduate of the program is able to breed plants, create new varieties and also maintain existing varieties. He is aware that plant breeding is a complex and long-term process, which is based on the creation of genetic variability and the subsequent selection of lines, clones, hybrids or populations with the desired characteristics. He knows that plant biotechnology represents a highly effective tool for the effective achievement of breeding goals. His knowledge of biotechnological procedures finds its application in the creation of genetically variable starting breeding material and enables highly specialized breeding work.
