the obtaining of knowledge and skills for teaching geography in ele-
mentary and secondary schools) and the second-cycle single- ma-
jor non-pedagogical study program »Geography - regional studies«
(meant for the application of knowledge in the space in the process
of planning of further social development of a community and in
questions connected with protection of the environment).
At the Department of Geography, in the 2015/16 academic year,
eight teachers were employed. In the academic process, a strong
emphasis is put on the steady improvement of the quality of edu-
cation, wide field work, connecting research and pedagogical work
and the transfer of research achievements into practice and the
study process. We organize scientific and professional meetings
and invite foreign guest professors, and we enhance the interna-
tional mobility of students and their independent research activi-
ties.
