About the programme

Study program Botany offers topics in botanical disciplines, including the study of cyanobacteria, algae, higher plants and fungal organisms, including lichens, and corresponding theoretical education in four areas: 1. Systematic topics are dominated by the study of microevolutionary processes, but also the ecological differentiation of populations and phylogeography using the combination of molecular and conventional methods. 2. Topics in plant ecology range from the level of individuals through populations up to communities and the study of vegetation on a landscape scale. 3. Long-term interest is devoted to vegetation dynamics, in particular to the succession and its use in restoration ecology, and also the expansion of non-native plants. 4. The fourth set of topics covers archaeobotany and paleoecology.The program is accredited jointly with the Institute of Botany AS CR in Třeboň

Programme structure

Each student's individual study plan has A. a part common to all PhD students at the Faculty of Scinece (PhD internship, literature research, regular presentation at a seminar, foreign internship, presentation at an international conference, English exam), B. a part of compulsory elective courses from the offer of PhD courses of each programme (2 to 5 courses proposed by the admissions committee) and C. possibly courses recommended by the admissions committee to supplement the knowledge of the master's degree (if the student comes from another field or another school). This Plan is binding on the student and changes to B. and C. courses are only possible after approval by the departmental board. The student draws up his/her study plan in collaboration with the supervisor and then submits it to the departmental board for approval. The rules for progression in the programme set out the conditions to be fulfilled by the student during the course of his/her studies and on completion of the programme.
This evaluation is governed by the Regulations of the Study and Examination Regulations of the USB and the Measure of the Dean of the Faculty of Scinece of the USB No. 62.
