The Catholic University of Lublin (KUL) received the consent of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education to establish joint second-cycle studies in bioanalytical technologies together with the International University of Sarajevo.

The studies will be conducted in English and will start in October 2021. A total of 20 places will be prepared in the field of study, half for Poland and half for Bosnia and Herzegovina. KUL students will study at least one semester in Sarajevo, and their peers from Sarajevo will come to Lublin for classes at the Catholic University of Lublin. Graduates of the field of study will receive diplomas from both universities.

The new course has been prepared as part of the KATAMARAN project of the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange.

Dr Radosław Mencfel from the Institute of Biological Sciences of the Catholic University of Lublin emphasizes that a large part of the classes will be conducted by practitioners with many years of experience, and the advantage of the new course will be a large number of practical classes carried out in companies from the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries also abroad, incl. in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
