The general educational objectives for the curriculum at specified level and educational profile |
The purpose of the studies is to obtain increased theoretical knowledge in the field of ecology and evolution. In order to achieve this, educational modules were carefully selected to provide the graduate with latest theoretical and practical knowledge of contemporary issues relating to those fields (ecology and evolution). A significant part of the curriculum are lab activities and group projects which equip the graduate with skills (research planning, acquiring grants and funding, compiling reports, writing research papers, etc.) allowing them to find employment at different positions and in various institutions: scientific research facilities/institutions/centres, governmental institutions, nature preservation agencies, consulting companies and industry. An important opportunity for further development and work is the chance to apply for PhD studies at the best universities in Poland and abroad. A graduate of Ecology and Evolution is ready to further develop and hone their professional skills so that they can adjust to the changing conditions of Polish as well as international labor markets. |
