Successful graduates
Our graduates are great examples of successful application and expertise in their fields biology, biotechnology, chemistry or computer science in Slovakia and abroad. During their studies at the faculty, they acquired not only solid foundations of theoretical knowledge, but also practical experience, which they effectively apply in practice today. Thanks to an approach oriented towards real projects and research, they have acquired skills that enable them to solve complex challenges in their fields.
Today, many of our graduates are recognized experts in their field and like to share their knowledge and experience with the next generations. Their involvement contributes to the continuous improvement of the quality of education, enriches the teaching process and brings current students inspiration and motivation for their own research and career growth.
We are proud of their achievements and that they have become an important part of the academic and professional community that supports innovative solutions and sustainable development for the benefit of the whole society.
Graduate of FPV UCM biotechnologist Milan Karastalks about his research at the University of Bologna
Instead of chemical sprays, he develops biological "vaccines" for plants. Slovak scientist and graduate biotechnology at the UCM Faculty of Natural Sciences Milan Karas he works at the prestigious University of Bologna and believes that thanks to his research, new biotechnologies can change agriculture throughout Europe.
Graduate of FPV UCM biotechnologist Šarlota Kaňuková gave an interview about why it's great to be a scientist
She founded a biotechnological startup with global potential, and for her scientific contribution, she received a significant domestic award and later a pan-European award at the end of 2024. In a interview with Šarlota Kaňuková from the UCM Faculty of Natural Sciences, we talk about the fact that plant biotechnology can be a solution to problems in global agriculture, but also about how the results of laboratory work can be translated into a functioning business.
