What will you learn?
The objective of the Zoology programme is to gain current knowledge in the field of animal biology particularly in their systematic, evolution and ecology. Detailed knowledge are provided in the field of invertebrate and vertebrate biology, hydrobiology and parasitology. To get a practical experience with the field or laboratory research and skills to interpret data on general knowledge of current state of art by using modern analytical methods are another programme aim. Although, the tutorial emphasises Central European fauna, skills and learned methods are graduates able to apply to any ecosystem or fauna of the globe.
“Diversity of life is the diversity of animals”
Practical training
Not required.
