ORNAMENTAL HORTICULTURE

Studies in Ornamental Horticulture are aimed at deepening knowledge and developing advanced skills in the production and application of decorative plant material, as well as the arrangement and revitalization of green areas in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.

The program enables students to acquire modern knowledge in the fields of ornamental and landscape horticulture, ecology and environmental protection, as well as to understand the role of plant material in improving the quality of space. Special emphasis is placed on connecting horticulture with landscape architecture, enabling students to actively participate in the design and realization of complex spatial solutions.

The goal of the program is to train students for independent professional and research work, as well as for solving complex problems in the field of planting material production, biodiversity conservation, revitalization of green areas, and the application of sustainable technologies. Special attention is paid to understanding the biological characteristics of plants, their production technology, and their application in various environmental conditions. The program includes professional and elective subjects that enable specialization in areas such as horticultural design, production of plant material for special purposes, reconstruction and revitalization of spaces, and agroecosystem management. Teaching is conducted through lectures, laboratory, computer, and field exercises, with a strong emphasis on practical and research work.
