The undergraduate study programme Biology is run by the Department of Biology in cooperation with other departments at the Faculty of Science. Upon completion of the undergraduate study programme Biology, the student is awarded a bachelor’s degree in biology. During the study programme and through various biological disciplines, the student is taught the structure, growth, origin, evolution, classification and functioning of living organisms on Earth. The undergraduate study programme Biology enables students to adopt knowledge and skills qualifying them for laboratory work as lab associates, i.e., biology technicians at universities and institutes, in medical, veterinary, pharmaceutical, agronomical, biotechnical and similar institutions and companies as well as various interdisciplinary institutions. A holder of a bachelor’s degree in biology is able to undertake professional and technical tasks in protected areas, national parks, nature parks, botanical gardens and zoos, museum collections, institutions for environmental protection and similar institutions. The undergraduate study programme Biology offers the possibility to continue graduate studies at the University of Split and other universities in the country and throughout the world.
