Fields of Study
Urban Water Management:
This core field introduces the various aspects of water supply, water treatment, urban drainage and sewage treatment. They are considered from an integrated perspective, taking into account existing conditions and water protection.
Knowledge of chemical, biochemical and biological process technologies is taught, as well as mathematical modelling and system theories.
Ecological System Design, Air Pollution Control and Waste Management:
This major focuses on scientific methodology. Students are taught to record, assess and control flows of materials and products, such as foodstuffs, construction materials and plastics.
Students acquire knowledge of assessment methods of life cycle assessments, risk analysis and the evaluation of ecological footprint, critical in industrial decision-making processes.
Water Resource Management:
This field of study introduces students to the methods and tools used to sustainably manage and protect water resources.
Students acquire knowledge about monitoring and modelling the hydrological cycle, analysis, planning and management of water resources, evaluation and management of hydrological and hydraulic risks, remediation of damaged systems and transport processes in water systems.
Hydraulics:
This major introduces students to hydraulic engineering systems and their structural and operational aspects necessary for the management of water resources; this includes the basics of planning, design and operation of hydroelectric plants, dams, flood protection systems and river engineering.
Soil Protection:
This area deals with the relationships between soil properties and structures, as well as the physical, chemical and biological processes essential for the management of soil as a resource.
This knowledge enables students to understand and model the effects of land use and soil pollu-tion in order to plan remedial measures. Students are also taught how to analyse the interactions between soil, plants and atmosphere crucial for agriculture and terrestrial ecosystems.
