GRADUATE AND POSTGRADUATE EDUCATION OF MEDICAL BIOCHEMISTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ZAGREB FACULTY OF PHARMACY AND BIOCHEMISTRY

Graduate and postgraduate programmes for masters of medical biochemistry at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry, University of Zagreb, reflect the multidisciplinary character of the profession, necessary for application of scientific findings in the field of medical biochemistry in different work settings. The programs cover integrated undergraduate and graduate studies, postgraduate doctoral studies and several postgraduate specialist studies. Medical biochemistry studies are organized as an integrated undergraduate and graduate course of studies extending over ten semesters (5 years, 300 ECTS), and leading to the title Master of Medical Biochemistry. The aim of the curriculum is to educate health professionals capable of critical thinking and active and permanent acquisition of knowledge. During the course of studies, students acquire knowledge, understanding, skills of analysis and synthesis in fundamental natural, biomedical and professional medical-biochemical sciences as well as generic competencies and attitudes. Postgraduate doctoral studies last at least 3 years and students have to collect a minimum of 180 ECTS. The course of studies includes organized instruction (mandatory, modular, methodological and elective subjects) and active scientific research work. Postgraduate specialist studies are one-year study courses (60 ECTS) leading to the academic title University Master (Univ. Mag.) in the chosen field of studies and are a form of continuing education, i.e., lifelong learning. Postgraduate specialist studies in medical biochemistry and laboratory medicine and analytical toxicology are a part of four-year specialist training of masters of medical biochemistry and lead to the title Specialist of Medical Biochemistry and Laboratory Medicine
