Level:  master academic studies

Upon end of the studies student will receive a title:

The full course workload of the master academic study program has been assigned 60 ECTS credits. The study program comprises active teaching and research work towards master thesis. Active teaching is delivered in the first semester of study and encompasses compulsory and elective courses in the total workload of at least 30 ECTS credits. In the second semester of studies, the work towards master thesis is carried out and is equivalent to a workload of 30 ECTS credits. Master work represents a student's scientific-research work in the field of the study program. The goal is that the students gain experience and competence to conduct scientific research independently. The defense of master thesis is public, and both the thesis and defense are evaluated by the committee composed of the supervisor and at least two members.

The aim of this study program is that students, through a series of courses, gain knowledge required to monitor environmental quality, decrease the pollution in the environment and work place, design systems for purification and remediation of polluted waters, air and soil and treat solid and hazardous waste. Students are trained to understand causes of environmental pollution and to undertake control measures for the pollution prevention or decrease, as well as to manage purification and remediation processes. Basic fields of the study program include: underground and surface waters quality control, water treatment for the appropriate purposes, waste waters purification; solid and hazardous waste management, waste materials recycling and use; air quality control, exhaust gases purification; monitoring of soil quality and remediation of contaminated soil; energy efficacy, renewable energy sources and sustainable development. In addition, students are provided with knowledge in the areas of economics, management and legal regulations in this field aiming at appropriate environmental protection with minimal costs. The objectives of this study program are directed towards gaining academic skills and specific knowledge in accordance with current international master academic study programs in environmental engineering. Graduate students of the study program Environmental Engineering, thanks to knowledge and skills gained, are competent to recognize and solve problems of environmental protection in practice.

The knowledge that graduate students gained enable them to plan and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data within the framework of appropriate disciplines (air, water, soil quality, waste management, resources preservation and use of materials). It must be pointed out that they are acquainted with the most recent achievements in this field and thus capable, through continual education, to improve the knowledge gained and contribute to the development of this field. After completion of the study they are able to plan, design, and supervise operation of the systems, equipment and processes that are optimized from the standpoints of quality, costs, time, work safety, and environment and workplace protection.
