Ecology and biodiversity
About the programme
The basic aim of the study programme is to educate graduates with fundamental knowledge of ecological science, which is the basis for recognising the role of organisms on various levels of an ecosystem, for understanding processes and recognising changes in nature and in our immediate environment. Within the framework of the program, graduates get acquainted with different environments, organisms as carriers of energy flow and the circulation of matter, and with the laws that have developed there. They learn about abiotic and biotic factors (including human influence), which the appearance or disappearance of species and populations depends on, and set the limits of their spread. They also learn about the possibilities of preventing and mitigating changes in natural systems. The program provides critical knowledge needed to achieve the objectives of international conventions on nature protection.
