  • recognize the interrelated processes and karst features and phenomena as well as human impact on karst in the broadest sense,
  • be capable of making a quick and reliable analysis and synthesis of their acquired knowledge and to present it adequately, both orally and in writing, in an articulated, well-supported, analytical and synthetic manner in scientific, technical and popular publications,
  • have the capacity to constructively use the acquired interdisciplinary knowledge related to karstology in their future line of work within or outside the research institutions and university centres in Slovenia and abroad.
