    The goal to allow the students to acquire knowledge and understanding of a variety of methods that are used in scientific research in entomology: method of sample collection, making a collection, fixation of the insects and the production of durable and histological preparations, studying the dynamics of populations of insects, use a variety of molecular methods in entomology.
    The outcome Students are expected to demonstrate knowledge of the theoretical basis of methods used in entomology research and to be prepared to use this methods while working in the laboratory and in the field.
