Environmental Science
Faculty of Power and Electrical Engineering
The Master study programme provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources.
The programme focuses on technological solutions for environmental protection associated with the use of renewable energy sources, increase of energy efficiency, implementation of cleaner technologies and principles for sustainable development.
The aim is to train highly qualified specialists with comprehensive practical and theoretical knowledge of latest developments in environmental technologies.
Students are introduced to systems’ thinking to understand the on-going climate change and find the optimal solutions for environmental problem solving during the study process students may use the faculty laboratories e.g., Laboratory of Environmental Monitoring, Laboratory of Climate.
Key Features
- Lectures include creative teaching methods as role-play games, case studies, computer simulations, modeling, environmental monitoring etc.
- Students are provided with site visits to manufacturing companies, power stations, cogeneration plants, landfill sites etc.
- Lectures by young and creative lecturers that have gained experience abroad,
- Fully equipped laboratories available for study, research and experiments in a newly built faculty building
