THE WHOLE WORLD IS LEARNING FROM US
Our researchers developed a process that can significantly shorten the production of a flu medicine; they discovered a new protein, Dbl2, which can repair damaged genetic information (DNA); they participated in mapping the three-dimensional structure of the PatA enzyme, which has led to a significant advance in the fight against tuberculosis. And that’s just a fraction of our ongoing research in biology, environmental science, geography, geology, and chemistry.
NATURE IS OUR LIFE
Our fulfilment and intrigue is in trying to find solutions to the climate crisis and in protecting nature and health. With us, you can participate in projects aimed at improving public health, protecting habitats, animal and plant species, restoring important natural areas, or remediating the geological environment, and environmental burdens.
AT OUR FACULTY, YOU WON’T BE BURIED IN BOOKS
The Himalayas, Iceland, Mexico, Tanzania, Honduras – that’s just a small sample of what awaits you. If you decide to study natural sciences in Slovak or in English, you will have a chance to use top-notch laboratories, but also participate in field research and professional excursions in attractive locations.
WE ARE A COMMUNITY
Make new friends and join the Sladké drievko (Liquorice) student botanical club, the Dobrá myseľ (Good Mind) community garden, geoscience clubs, or physical education camps.

BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY
Degree: Bachelor (Bc.)
Usual duration: 3 years
About the programme: This programme is designed to give students qualified theoretical knowledge from biology and chemistry. The biological component focuses on cell biology, microbiology, virology, genetics, molecular biology, animal and human physiology, immunology, and biotechnology. The topics in chemistry include general and inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, and biochemistry. This programme provides practical training at private research institutions.
ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
Degree: Bachelor (Bc.)
About the programme: This three-year study programme is one of the few programmes created for the needs of the labour market. Graduates will understand the characteristics and attributes of the components of the environment, including human impacts. They will gain knowledge in interdisciplinary fields of study characterizing the basic biotic and abiotic components of the landscape and improve their knowledge in the fields of ecology, landscape ecology, biodiversity, chemistry, geochemistry, and the protection of natural resources. Attention is also given to environmental planning, sustainable development, and the risk assessment of geological hazards.
Tuition fee: no tuition fee
