(Bachelor Degree Program)
course overview
Study programme „Environmental Engineering” is focused on the preparation of environmental specialists with extensive competence in engineering matters for work in private companies and public bodies. The cross-sectoral approach applied to the implementation of the study programme allows students to make practical use of the knowledge acquired in the theoretical part of the training to analyse and address the current problems of the undertakings/institutions in question, which allows students to integrate into the real working environment as far as possible. The implementation of the study programme focuses on the use of innovative pollution prevention technologies and their comprehensive assessment of sustainable economic development.
The learning of skills and knowledge under the study programme is provided by academic and scientific staff at European level (EU experts in the fields of environmental engineering and energy, sustainable management of resources, environmental management), who are involved in the delivery of civil engineering solutions at national and European level on a daily basis.
The study programme aims to prepare high-profile and high-quality professionals with integrated academic education with systemic thinking and understanding, who are able to follow the development of environmental technologies and participate successfully in the implementation of environmental and climate technologies.
