The study programme of Zoology provides education in ecology, evolutionary and systematic biology with focus on animals. Students gain knowledge on evolution and ecology of animals, and skills for field research and interpretation of scientific data. Graduates are able to work individually or in a team on topics related to (1) ecology of animals on individual, population and community levels, (2) nature conservation, (3) interspecific interactions in pest control, (4) animal phylogeny and systematics.
A successful graduate is able to
- apply their theoretical knowledge and practical skills in zoology, with an emphasis on ecology, evolution and taxonomy of animals, particularly in invertebrate (including entomology) and vertebrate zoology, hydrobiology, and parasitology
- be well informed about Central European biodiversity, based on their specialization, graduates are able to enlarge their knowledge and to apply methods they have gained in any ecosystem or biome on Earth
The aim of this programme is to prepare graduates for research positions at departments of biological faculties, institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences, state institutes of applied sciences (agriculture and forestry), agencies of nature conservation and environmental management, private companies conducting surveys in nature conservation, natural history museums, zoos, etc.
