Qualification level

SQF Level: SQF 7
EQF Level: EQF 6
EOVK Level: First level

Learning outcomes:

The qualification holder will be able to:

(general competences)

  • abstract and analyse basic, simple events in the atmosphere and from general geophysical findings,
  • synthesise and critically assess solutions of these basic, simple problems,
  • apply acquired knowledge in practice,
  • carry out autonomous professional work on simple problems and slightly more complex work as part of a team,

(subject-specific competences)

  • show a general awareness of the basic natural laws governing the weather, climate and certain other geophysical phenomena,
  • show connections between various natural phenomena,
  • demonstrate proficiency in basic measurement and observation skills,
  • deal qualitatively with events,
  • make critical comparisons between modelled and actually measured values,
  • carry out quantitative analysis of elementary problems,
  • analyse and present results in tabular, graphical or some other clear form.

Assesment and completion:

Students' knowledge is assessed by means of practical exercises and seminar papers, and also via products, projects, performances, services, etc. and by examinations. Examination performance is scored as follows: 10 (excellent); 9 (very good: above-average knowledge but with some mistakes); 8 (very good: solid results); 7 (good); 6 (adequate: knowledge satisfies minimum criteria); 5–1 (inadequate). In order to pass an examination, a candidate must achieve a grade between adequate (6) and excellent (10). 

Progress:

In order to enrol in the second year, students must have passed Physics I and II, Mathematics I and II, Physics Practicum I and II and Computer Science Practicum, and have accumulated a total of at least 52 credits. In order to enrol in the third year, students must have passed all first-year examinations, Meteorology, Meteorological Observations and Instruments, Geophysics, Modern Physics I, Statistical Thermodynamics, Mathematics III and IV, and have accumulated a total of at least 50 credits.
