| General description of the programme: | In the course of the second-cycle studies of biology, which end with defense of their master's thesis, a student learns how to identify and solve biological problems including problems concerning general biology, experimental biology, ecology, environment protection and valorisation of biological resources under the direction of their supervisor. The programme objectives and the manner in which the education is carried out will motivate our students to engage in the co- creation of science.
The master's project, which will last at least two semesters, is the first scientific project that a student conducts, mostly by himself and is closely related to the research profile of the chosen department. Specialisation (1st year) and master (2nd year) workshops play crucial roles in the proper practical realisation of that project. These take place in modern facilities that are equipped with the scientific instrumentation required for research, open faculty or field- specific laboratories. Specialist (1st year) and masters (2nd year) seminars provide the theoretical support that is essential in the proper realisation of a master's project. Their aim is to teach students how to plan scientific experiments and also how to prepare, discuss and present the results of their master’s thesis. In addition, each student acquires knowledge in such disciplines as phylogenetics, animal and plant taxonomy, selected issues of ecology, botany and zoology conservation and bioethics. An important and obligatory element of the studies is also an introduction to the modern information technologies and statistical methods that are used in the life sciences. Additionally, during the course of studies, students learn how to use databases, audiovisual resources, advanced computer applications and other tools that enable employment at positions that require universal knowledge and the ability for the public presentation of biological issues and solving the practical problems related to the implementation of biology in the economy and management.
Apart from the modules that guarantee the basic knowledge, a number of facultative modules enable students to individualise the course of their studies according to their personal interests and selected specialisation. This offer is complemented by a wide range of modules from beyond the main specialisation.
Graduates from 2nd- cycle studies are prepared to: I) describe and explain the processes and phenomena that occur in nature; II) plan and conduct scientific experiments; III) use their knowledge to prepare specialist documentation and biological manuscripts
The knowledge, skills and competences that are acquired allow biology graduates to find employment in scientific research units, laboratories, health care institutions, production facilities and departments. A graduate can find employment in other sectors of the economy that require knowledge about biology and laboratory work, as well as institutions and organisations that are associated with the broadly defined teaching of biological issues.
The qualifications obtained at this level are the foundation to occupy executive positions in professions related to the previously mentioned sectors of the economy.
At the same time second- cycle programmes prepare graduates to continue their education during PhD studies.

| Organization of the process of obtaining a degree: | After being recruited, a student chooses a department to realise the seminars, laboratory classes and the MSc thesis. The head of the department selects students on the basis of the interview and the marks obtained by the candidate in the courses related to the research profile of the department. Interviews take place in the second half of July.
Students of Biology write their diploma theses in one of the following departments: Department of Plant Anatomy and Cytology, Department of Biophysics and Plant Morphogenesis, Department of Cell Biology, Department of Botany and Nature Protection, Department of Ecology, Department of Plant Physiology, Department of Animal Histology and Embryology, Department of Animal Physiology and Ecotoxicology, Department of Hydrobiology and Department of Zoology.
The choice of a supervisor and on the topic of the MSc thesis occurs during the 1st month of the 1st semester. The MSc thesis is of a research character and is related to the chosen specialisation. A student has to submit their MSc thesis to the Dean’s Office. An academic teacher with at least a PhD hab. degree is appointed as the reviewer. A diploma exam is taken in front of an examination board consisting of three persons: a supervisor, a reviewer and the head of the board. During the exam at least three questions are posed by the supervisor and the reviewer.
The final mark that is written in the diploma is calculated according to the rules defined in the Statute of the Studies in the University of Silesia (enclosure to the announcement of the Rector of the University of Silesia, published on the 2nd of September 2011).

| Connection between the field of study and university development strategy, including the university mission: | The education within the specialisation is convergent with the operational aims outlined in the strategy of the development of the University of Silesia for 2012- 2020, especially those referring to the operational aim: innovative education and modern teaching offer through:
- elaboration of the organisational and curricular principles for the second level of academic studies;
- expansion of the offer of educational programmes in foreign languages, in particular in English;
- enabling the realisation of a part of the study programmes at foreign universities, mainly due to LPP Erasmus program / Erasmus + beginning in the academic year 2014/15;
- adaptation of the educational program to the needs of the labour market;
- implementation of more practical classes into the programme of studies, as well as internships in institutions and organisations;
- implementation of the content associated with innovation and the entrepreneurship, intellectual property and the labour market into the programme of study;
- use of e-learning courses in the educational process;
- implementation of internal systems to ensure a high-quality education;
- development of the didactic competences of the academic teachers.
The degree course in Biology has a positive assessment of the Polish Accreditation Committee (PKA). The educational offer is under systematic modification and expansion in response to the demands of the labour market, which is accomplished through the cooperation of the department and university with the region. The basis for the further improvement of the education process is the development of research in various research teams, including interdisciplinary teams.
In relation to the mission of training, the Silesian University degree course of biology involves the comprehensive development of students, thus creating a solid theoretical and practical basis for them to undertake both economic activity and a continuation of their education.
