Study programme aims and objectives
1. To support the acquisition of skills and practices in integrated natural, exact and social sciences. Specifically:
show more...
- To create prerequisites for comprehending and applying various disciplines in natural sciences integratively and with varying thoroughness;
- To create prerequisites for comprehending and applying the principles of sustainable development in various fields (environment, economy, society) at various levels (personal, community, global);
- To create possibilities for applying information technology creatively for research, education and development in natural sciences;
2. To create prerequisites for determining needs for personal development and lifelong learning.
Learning outcomes of the study programme

- can create connections between natural sciences and other fields of science
- can apply analytical and systems thinking for solving problems in natural sciences and creating implications for the society
- has acquired the skills for argumentation, academic writing, oral communication and public performing and knows how to use these skills in his/her professional life
- is aware of the need for personal development and has obtained versatile skills for lifelong learning
- is capable of professional communication with different target groups, can apply specific knowledge in a wider clutural context
- has acquired advanced knowledge and skills according to the chosen major in one field of natural sciences or integrated knowledge and skills in many fields of natural sciences
- can apply the acquired knowledge and skills according to the chosen major to resolve issues connected to sustainable development and influence behaviour patterns of him-/herself and fellow people
- knows the most common applications in information technology according to the chosen major, can use them creatively in practice and can give input for their development
