Learning outcomes
The course deals with technical and environmental aspects of hydrology of small and medium catchment areas. The aim of the course is to acquaint students with advanced methods of studying hydrological processes.
Students can apply an active working approach and are capable of independent scientific activity in the field. They are able to use a large amount of relevant data (professional literature, their own practical experience in the field, experience of experts), which they are able to analyse, critically evaluate and draw appropriate conclusions. Graduates can apply these skills creatively in their research activities. Students are well prepared for further independent learning and sustained professional growth in the field. Graduates have mastered the ability to think analytically and synthetically.
Prerequisites
Students are able to work independently in the field, but they have also mastered the principles of teamwork. They are equipped with the ability to formulate and present their own opinions and communicate them in their native language and in a world language. They are able to communicate information, ideas, identify problems and propose possible solutions without problems. They are able to critically evaluate their approach to a problem; they are able to defend their professional opinion using arguments they have acquired through study and practical experience in the field.

Assessment methods and criteria
unspecified
The scope of knowledge corresponds to the SZZ at ZF JU. Students of the combined form of study have the same obligations as students of the full-time form.
