Learning outcomes
The course is related to courses focused on the development of the student's scientific activity. Taking into account the fact that this is a subject included in the third year of study, the student is expected to have a high level of professional knowledge and competence, and therefore emphasis is placed on their presentation abroad, or presentation with an international element. The student is required to complete a research internship abroad of at least one month. The student may replace this study obligation by obtaining and solving a scientific project with an international element or by preparing a publication in English, French, German, Russian, Spanish or Italian, which will be published abroad or in the Czech Republic in a peer-reviewed foreign language journal.
Development of the student's scientific activity at international level.
