Environmental management and water use

The knowledge gained within the Environmental Engineering program covers a wide range of areas, including the analysis of ecological systems, environmental impact assessment, and the development of sustainable technologies. Students develop the skills necessary for designing environmentally friendly solutions, including wastewater treatment methods, waste management, and ecosystem restoration.

Qualified specialists can apply their knowledge to developing environmental legislation, which contributes to a more sustainable society. As a result, a specialist trained in Environmental Engineering is able to effectively manage natural resources and minimize the negative impact of human activity on the environment, thereby ensuring harmony between technological progress and environmental conservation.

Acquired knowledge and skills, specifics of training

The program is designed for those who want to master modern engineering methods for the design and protection of territories, taking into account their rational use and preservation. During the course, students will acquire professional competencies in the design, construction, and operation of engineering structures and measures for the development, strengthening, and protection of territories.

Qualified specialists can apply their knowledge to the creation of engineering barriers, dams, and bank and slope fortifications to prevent erosion, landslides, and flooding; the design of drainage systems, treatment facilities, and other engineering structures that minimize environmental impacts; the implementation of measures to reclaim and restore disturbed land; and the construction of protective structures such as waterproofing barriers, erosion control networks, and flood control systems.
