Field walking survey – 20-24 March, 2023

Dear Students,

In the Field training-> Field walking survey bookmark, you may find up-to-date information about the field walking survey (20-24 March 2023). The offer will be constantly supplemented with information sent by the instructors.

Students interested in taking part in a field walking survey should report to the lecturer.

Please, be aware that field walking surveys are obligatory according to your study programme (in the third year of BA and the second year of MA studies). We ask for thoughtful decisions – registering the student in the USOS system obliges him/her to complete the course.
