Key learning outcomes The aim of the study is to prepare professionals capable of multidisciplinary approach to solving problems of contemporary landscape as related to sustainable landscape management and agricultural production. Emphasis is placed not only on the acquisition of specific professional knowledge and methodological skills, but especially on the development of critical thinking and the ability to independently analyse complex technical information, to carry out research in the laboratory and in the field and to adequately interpret and publish the results obtained. Students are guided so that after successful completion of the study they have the competence to implement scientific research and project activities in terms of process, professional and financial. An important goal of the study programme is also the development of students' ability to creatively apply research results in practice. Students are encouraged to combine knowledge of ecosystem structures, processes and functions with knowledge and practical experience.
