(Master Degree Program)
course overview
The study programme “Environmental Engineering” provides knowledge and skills on the assessment and optimisation of the sustainability of existing technologies and systems (environmental, economic, social aspects); the development and optimisation of new environmental technologies and products (bio-resource based, renewables, emissions prevention, etc.); the use of bio-resources to create high added value and the long-term development of the economy through the bioeconomy focus; assessment of existing environmental management models and development of new models at company and regional level; cross-disciplinary approach to environmental challenges; conducting, evaluating, reporting and publishing original scientific studies.
The study programme aims to prepare systemically thinking, on environmental prevention and the development and deployment of innovative zero-pollution technologies oriented, high-skilled specialists with integrated academic education (Master of engineering science degree) in two specializations:
- “Environmental engineering”;
- “Circular Bioeconomy”.
Students will raise awareness of environmental technologies, learn how to assess the impact of processes on the environment at local and global level, and apply advanced methods and modeling tools to describe, quantify and qualitatively assess and resolve environmental problems.
