The practical training will complement the theoretical courses within the study program, furthering their knowledge and application thereof. Training will take place at the FTZ experimental facilities (Botanical Garden and Animal Research Farm), within FTZ laboratories, and at external facilities. More specifically, students will be trained:
Furthermore, the students will participate in excursions to an agroforestry farm, where concepts, management, and research in agroforestry will be demonstrated, as well as a livestock farming unit, where principles of animal husbandry, welfare, and sustainability will be demonstrated, and local Fairtrade organization. Students will also attend a meet and greet event with FTZ staff and students and consult with their thesis supervisor.
Each course will require the completion of an examination and/or assignment(s) to pass. Oral examinations are utilised in the majority of subjects, where students will need to present their identification, and conduct the examination with their camera on. Conditions of the examination will be provided to you at the start of each course. The language of all examinations is English
No, these are additional costs that will need to be covered by the applicants. Students may utilise the affordable accommodation options offered at the student dormitories, as well as the discounted meal options available at the university cafeteria for lunch and dinner.
For the final state exams, students must complete an oral examination (approximately 30 minutes) in-front of the expert panel at FTZ during their final year of study. They will conduct one examination on the mandatory cross-sectional area of Tropical Agroecology and select a second examination topic from the following areas depending on the specialization of their thesis, either from Sustainable Farming Systems, Nutrition, or Culture and Food Traditions, or Fair and Inclusive Agriculture, Responsible Governance and Economy. After a successful examination, students will present the results of their research thesis to the expert panel at FTZ (15 minute presentation with 5 minutes of questions).
The main aim of the course is to increase the research competencies and the professional experience of the students of the program. Within the course students can choose a variety of different educational activities, such as:
The student regularly consults the selection of these activities with their thesis supervisor and the guarantee to select the appropriate activities. They can then make a selection of activities to correspond with the topic of the diploma thesis, developing the topic appropriately, or improving the graduate profile. Each sub-activity is evaluated according to the time requirement corresponding to the number of hours. The student is required to submit a formal report and supporting evidence of these activities. The student should present their activities to their thesis supervisor (and their research team) before being able to obtain the credits for the subject.
The aim of this course is to allow students to make progress on their research in a structured way and to help fulfil program requirements, and to be able to appropriately structure their scientific work. Students will receive information regarding the rules and procedures of preparing a thesis at the faculty, and they will learn about available topics for their theses. They will also be familiar with Research Ethics and Academic Integrity. They will learn how to set specific research problems, develop objectives, and systematically organize and initiate their own research. They will be able to search for relevant sources of information from scientific journals as well as to apply information obtained from a variety of sources (professional literature, documents, databases, websites etc.). Students will also be familiarized with the rules and recommendations regarding format and style, as well as how to interpret collected data and present data/results with clarity. The students will prepare an individual presentation where they will focus on data presentation, and will be required to address feedback from their peers using the skills acquired during the course. The course is interactive and active participation of students. External experts will be invited to present their research in the area of agroecology, as a means to familiarize students with current research, as well as with scientific research processes and communication.
Yes, it is possible to pay in two instalments per year (55 000 CZK per semester).
Yes, during the Orientation Meeting, students will learn basic rules of studying at the faculty and CZU. They will also be oriented in "who is who" at the faculty, available psychological and pedagogical support, peer support systems, facilities of the faculty, and main study support tools like MS Teams, Moodle, UIS, MS Office 360, student emails and similar systems. Basic Safety and Security Rules for present studies during practical stay at the CZU campus will be discussed as well. Part of the information will be shared through Moodle in the form of self-study texts.
