Last modified: 30. January 2024

The objective of the training is to educate environmental engineers who possess modern, applied knowledge in natural sciences, ecology, technology, economics, and management. They are capable of identifying environmental hazards in various fields and, with professional experience, can economically and efficiently manage preventive and remedial activities. With their professional knowledge, they are suitable for participating in the prevention, reduction, and elimination of environmental harms and damages, striving for the rational use of natural resources, and operating waste-reducing and energy-efficient technologies. They are prepared to continue their studies in master's programs.
