It is a degree programme in English intended for people interested in water biology who want to develop their interest in the animate world of the hydrosphere. The programme provides knowledge of water biology, based on biology, ecology, molecular biology, chemistry and geography. During classes in the laboratory, in the field, and during lectures, you will learn about animate and inanimate components of waters, in relation to the types of water bodies and the areas in which they occur. As a graduate of this course, you will be able to interpret and describe natural phenomena occurring in aquatic ecosystems. .
SKILLS GAINED IN THE COURSE OF THE DEGREE PROGRAMME
The graduates of Hydrobiology degree programme will know:
• how to recognize aquatic species of plants, animals and fungi
• the structure and functioning of aquatic organisms at the anatomical, molecular and physiological level
• the ecological principles of the water ecosystems functioning
• how to plan and perform the laboratory and field work
• how to monitor the water environment, assess its quality and condition,
• how to use tools to protect and revitalize aquatic ecosystems.
