undergraduate majors in systematics/phylogenetics

[Eduard Stloukal]

Hi Chris,

We, at the Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia, have launched the
course "Systematic Biology and Ecology" on Bachelor level of study (3
years duration).
Graduates can continue here in MSc courses, such as Botany, Zoology,
Ecology and many others less taxonomic branches.
We provide PhD education in Botany, Ecology, Parasitology and Zoology
(Limnology is planned from next year as well)

Some more details are available on our website.

With best wishes,
Edo
