Master's Educational Program "Environmental Engineering"

Qualification to award - Master of Environmental Engineering

The language of teaching - English

Program Objective

The Master of Science, MS, Environmental Engineering integrates the study of physical, chemical, and biological processes and fundamental principles for water and wastewater treatment and disposal, hazardous waste management, surface water and groundwater quality, water resources management, and air quality management. Successful graduates will have the ability to develop and implement technologies for various environmental applications with the goal to improve and protect the environment and human health.

The main objectives of program are:

to consolidate obtained knowledge of the areas and working practices within the applied sciences and their engineering-related applications. This study programme is aimed at enabling the use of the natural resource water by humans as well as ensuring its provision, diagnosing natural hazards and developing solutions for the protection and management of natural hazards.
to integrate engineering and life science principles into a comprehensive curriculum, that prepares students for successfully practice environmental engineering to serve state and regional industries, government agencies, or national and international industries, for entry into the doctoral program.
to enhance the knowledge of graduates in the advanced concepts of environmental control and remediation, involving a significant fraction of the following: chemistry, water & waste water quality, air quality, radioactive material handling and disposal, environmental laws and regulations, global environmental issues, and cost benefit analyses.
To increase the ability of graduates to synthesize and apply these advanced concepts to develop realistic environmental engineering designs and to solve identified problems, designing strategies for implementing them safely, ethically, and effectively.

To enhance the ability of graduates to communicate these concepts effectively both in oral and written formats.

Admission Prerequisites to the Program
