Environment Protection Engineering

The programme's first year gives in-depth knowledge in computational methods, environmental fluid mechanics, chemistry, scientific programming, data analysis, and management. Moreover, several specialized engineering courses cover specific topics within the field of environment protection engineering. The main topics are as follows: environmental protection management, surface and groundwater protection, soil diagnostic techniques, monitoring of the environment, applied climatology and global climate change, and municipal solid waste treatment technologies. In the second year, further courses in environment protection engineering are offered: land reclamation and development, irrigation and drainage, remote sensing of environment, pro-ecological technologies, energy systems modelling and optimisation. Some elective courses supplement these compulsory courses. Moreover, in the third and fourth semesters, students work on the final project and prepare a master thesis on a proposed topic. The completed Master’s Thesis should demonstrate acquired scientific and technical skills and understanding of environmental issues. The thesis is presented for review, assessment and examination by the Faculty Examination Board. The master thesis is credited with 20 ECTS points.
