Doctoral Programme in Biology, Geography and Geology (BGG)
The Doctoral Programme in Biology, Geography and Geology (BGG) is a multidisciplinary doctoral programme that educates specialists with wide knowledge on natural science research.
Reseach themes
Biology and Environmental Science
Research topics cover all the levels from cell and molecular biology, physiology and genetics to biodiversity research, individual species, interaction between species and evolutionary phenomena on population and community level.
Geography and Geology
Research focuses on the dynamic processes of the Earth at various scales of space and time. The research topics ranges from sedimentology and historical environmental changes to innovation of environments and urban structures.
