Applied Geology is focused on the application of hydrogeological, engineering-geological and geophysical methods in solving practical problems and research related to the geological environment. It deals with the search and exploitation of water resources, mineral resources, and geothermal energy, the survey related to the storage of radioactive waste and geological storage of CO2. Methods of Applied Geology are also used in the analysis of geological and environmental factors and risks assessment. Some of those factors are associated with global climate change. Typical tasks include the stabilization of landslides and other slope movements, floods, quality and quantity of drinking water, radon risk, seismicity, etc.... [-]

Master's degree program is based on modern knowledge of a number of scientific disciplines dealing with the landscape, its forces, dynamics, and interactions. That represents the intersection of disciplines enabling to deepen the foundations of scientific (physical geography and geo-ecology, geology, biology), technical (cartography, geo-informatics, remote sensing) and social disciplines (social geography, sociology, history, and law). The aim is to obtain theoretical and practical skills to capture the landscape and its folders, work with them using GIS, remote sensing, aerial imagery, modeling. Lectures are carried out in the Czech language with the use of Czech and foreign (mostly English language) literature, one lecture (Heritage of Cultural Landscapes) will be carried out in English. To enrich learning activities, foreign guests working at our workplaces on regular basis will be involved. Teaching in some subjects will be designed in a way that final evaluation of the student consists of a scientific performance on the international stage, including the presentation in English. The best graduates of the follow-up master's program will be able to continue in doctoral programs.“General Questions of Geography” previously accredited is a follow-up to a large extent. Graduates should find their place as in basic as in applied research, in decisive and project spheres.... [-]

Analytical chemistry is a scientific discipline which develops and applies methods, measuring techniques and strategies for obtaining information on the chemical composition of a defined part of the real world, on the changes of this composition in time and on the spatial distribution of chemical species. It intensely cooperates with the other chemical disciplines and with other important scientific fields, e.g., medicine, pharmacy, forensic studies, or ecology. The study of analytical chemistry obeys the recommendations by the Division of Analytical Chemistry (DAC) of the European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences (EuCheMS). It covers mastering of the theoretical background, practical training in the traditional methods of chemical analysis, in modern methods of instrumental analysis and in chemometry, complemented by general information on measuring methodology, on the systems of securing the quality of products, on multidimensional techniques and on continuous monitoring of industrial processes and of processes occurring in living organisms and in the environment....

The Institute of Physical Geography at Universität Frankfurt with its several working groups (active both nationally and internationally) covers a wide range of content and methods in the field of physical geography.

The research-based Master’s program in Physical Geography, which focuses on the relationship between man and the environment in the past, present, and future, benefits from this broad approach, and the complex networks and regional, national and global challenges that emerge shape the contents during the four semesters of the program.The flexible structure of the program and individual tutoring allows students to develop their own profiles. The program focuses on learning and researching and therefore qualifies students for specific activities in both research and industry.... [-]

Since the winter semester 2011/12 the Faculty of Biology has offered the Master of Science in "Cell Biology and Physiology". In the winter semester 2015/16, this was reissued as new Master of Science in "Physical Biology of Cells and Cell Interactions".

The two-year Master's program Physical Biology of Cells and Cell Interactions is research-oriented and educates students in modern concepts and methods of cell biology and physical biology. Scientific questions in the fields of cell biology and physical biology will be combined with developmental biology, cellular structure biology, bioinformatics, biochemistry, immunology, neuro-and plant physiology.
