Basic knowledge of botany at the secondary level of education, knowledge of plant biology and physiology. - Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
The capacity limit for the course is 175 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 0/175, only registered: 0/175 - fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Pharmacy (programme FaF, M-FARM)
- Multidisciplinary studies at Faculty of Pharmacy (programme CST, KOS)
- Course objectives
- The subject Biology of plants provides education for first class Master programme of Pharmacy. Basic course cover the areas of plant anatomy, morphology and physiology as well as systematics of lower and higher medicinal plants. The favour is mainly focused on selected genera with important secondary metabolities. An integral part of teaching are practice exercises of anatomy, systematics and field excursions.
- Learning outcomes
- Knowledge of pharmaceutical botany within the range of syllabus.
