The earliest of Masaryk's faculty windows to open, and the first Czech deadline of the cycle. Published as "Bachelor's programme: 1 October-31 March". Masaryk publishes this window with a day and a month but no year at all, and no academic-year heading anywhere on the page, so the year here is projected onto the September 2027 intake. Where the page's summary table and its per-faculty sections disagree, go by the faculty section, which gives the opening dates the table leaves out.

The degree covers cell and chemical biology, inorganic and organic chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology and genetics, animal and plant physiology, molecular biology and biotechnology, ecology and bioinformatics, immunology and virology. Besides lectures and seminars you take laboratory courses in biochemistry, bioanalytical chemistry and molecular biology, and take part in research for the bachelor's thesis under experienced supervisors, with training in data analysis and scientific communication. Graduates continue to master's programmes in molecular and cell biology or biochemical and cellular technologies, or work in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, quality control and research.
Masaryk accepts the IB Diploma directly as proof of secondary education, with no nostrification. Each programme sets its own test, interview or documents; several waive English for IB students.
