– to master theoretical and practical courses of biology and basic courses of mathematics, physics and chemistry,
– to study practical skills of nature research during a summer course;
– to study advanced courses relating to a relatively specialised molecular or organism biology;
– to carry out independent research (at least full 10 weeks or 10 credit points) in the selected sub-field of biology and present the result in the Bachelor’s thesis developed on the level matching requirements for a scientific publication. The goal of the programme is to provide knowledge in a wide spectrum of general subjects of Biology and Natural Sciences and to commence specialisation in a selected field of Biological Sciences.
Tasks of the programme:
– to acquire background theoretical knowledge and basic practical skills in biology, and also in mathematics, physics and chemistry;
– to obtain in-depth knowledge in a relatively specialised direction of molecular or organism biology;
– to implement independent investigation in the selected subbranch of biology and to summarise results, in a bachelor theses, corresponding to the demands of scientific publication.
Basic knowledge in molecular biology, microbiology, genetics, plant and animal anatomy and physiology, zoology and botany, ecology and evolution, and to integrate obtained knowledge with mathematics, chemistry and physics.

Learning outcomes.
Understanding:
– the interrelationships from the molecular level to the organism and ecosystem level;
