Biotechnology
Do you like biology and are fascinated by conducting experimental science in the laboratory? Are you interested in microorganisms and plants? Do you want to find out where antibiotics and vitamins come from?
Biotechnology is an interdisciplinary study that will combine the life sciences and technologies. It addresses pressing global issues such as food security, disease treatment and environmental sustainability, enabling students to contribute to meaningful solutions.
Classes are divided into compulsory and elective. By organising the classes in this way, each student has an understanding of the basics of all the disciplines that make up biotechnology and gives them a free hand in choosing what they want to pursue.
Curious about what the colours green, red and white have to do with biotechnology?
Study biotechnology at KUL. There is a strong emphasis on practical classes and the development of laboratory skills (classes in small groups, max. 8 people) in modern and well-equipped laboratories.

Educational requirements
Foreign Secondary School Certificate / IB / EB diploma / Polish "matura" certificate
Competition on the basis of secondary school certificate – the result of the written test is scored on the two of the following subjects:
mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics. Each subject is 50% of the final result.
Legalization/recognition of educational documents issued abroad
Required documents
In addition to a Secondary School Certificate a candidate is also required to submit:
- a certificate confirming English language proficiency at B2 level: (see the list)
