The program creates a favorable environment for applied genetics research with the participation of highly qualified academic staff, availability of the research laboratories and institutes (research institutes of ecology, zoology, botany, medicine, and public health), and collaboration with a partner organization such as Richard Lugar’s Public Health Research Center.

Masters Degree Program“Environmental Biotechnology” aims at giving specialized, profiled, and interdisciplinary training in the field of ecological and biotechnological approaches for environmental protection. As a level of education, the program corresponds to the up-to-day concepts and most recent achievements in this field.

Master’s program „Plant Biotechnologies“ offers its students a thorough preparation and profound knowledge in the wider aspects of biotechnology, focusing on the application of modern study and skills acquired from various biological disciplines. Certified Masters acquire knowledge and practical skills to apply classical and new technologies in the field of phytophysiology, molecular biology and biochemical practice; for preparing and implementing the scientific tasks and projects.

The program will provide an important grounding for students to understand and apply genetic, molecular genetic, and genomic tools to fundamental research questions in different areas: genetics, molecular genetics, genomics, molecular biology, medicine, biotechnology, and agriculture. It is designed to equip students to meet the growing requirement by academia, industry, and clinical practice for scientists, qualified in genetics, molecular genetics, and analysis of genomic data.

Graduates of the Master's program in Biophysics can continue their education at the next level of education - Ph.D. Due to the fact that biophysics is a fundamental biological science with a field of application in the various fields of animal biology, plant biology and microbiology, the acquired knowledge allows realization and career perspectives in appropriate educational and research institutions, such as the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Bulgarian Agriculture Academy, medical universities, biomedical institutions dealing with fundamental and applied research; in specialized units related to human and veterinary medicine, pharmaceutical laboratories, in companies producing and distributing biomedical equipment; in enterprises engaged in biotechnological production, in human and veterinary medicine units; in agriculture; in environmental monitoring and protection systems, state and municipal environmental control bodies, etc.

The program aims to prepare graduates who will be equipped with state-of-the-art knowledge and methods in the field of applied biochemistry and biotechnology, students will be able to study fundamental biological processes at the molecular and cellular level and will be prepared for research-oriented careers in both academia and biotechnology.

The Master’s degree program in Biochemistry at Sofia University “St Kliment Ohridski” is focused on the contemporary biochemical and molecular biology problems and includes theoretical and practical training needed for further realization of the students - for basic fundamental research and numerous applied fields of biochemistry and molecular biology.
