Course Description

Course Profile

The concept of education in the Environmental Protection program assumes that the learning outcomes achieved during the program will enable the preparation of a professional workforce with the competencies required for the field, taking into account the requirements of the Polish Qualifications Framework in the field of technical sciences. In addition, the concept takes into account the needs of the economy and the requirements of the job market by maintaining constant cooperation with external stakeholders in improving and changing the educational content and research activities. The education concept aims to create a student-friendly program that provides full satisfaction in learning and creates conditions for student participation in the cultural and scientific life of the academic community.

Detailed programme of studies

The programme is divided into three semesters. It consists of lectures, seminars, labworks and field research. The detailed list of subjects is as follows:

First year: Methodology of Environmental Research, Intellectual property protection, Strategy and policy in environmental conservation, Ecotoxycology, Landscape ecology, GIS modeling, Environmental processes modelling, Humanities and social sciences faculty I, Food in culture and society, Social capital and civil society, Outdoor activity and the protected areas, Foreign language/elective, Restoration and Management of Environment, Bioremediation, Soil hazard pollution and protection, Case study of environmental protection, Contemporary challenges in wetlands restoration, Ecological infrastructure in agriculture landscapes Contaminant flow in the environment, Environmental conservation and landscape planning, Decision support systems in environmental conservation, Environmental resources valuation, Riparian ecosystems conservation, Noise protection, Diploma seminar I of specialization Restoration and Management of Environment, Restoration and Management of Environment, Environmental Stress and Plants, Phytoremediation of air pollution, Climate change and environment, Nature based solutions, Ecological base of nature conservation, Databases and programming, Foreign language/elective, Mathematical statistics

Second year: Risk Analysis, Diploma seminar II of specialization Restoration and Management of Environment, Restoration and Management of Environment, Ecological engineering for environmental protection, Hydrogenic soils, Land and water conservation, Diploma thesis

Career prospects

Upon completing the second-degree studies in Environmental Protection, a graduate obtains a professional title of a Master. The graduate has an extended knowledge and skills in the functioning mechanisms of the natural environment, the nature of human activities' impact on the environment, and the principles of scientific assessment of their effects. The graduate can independently plan research using modern measurement, analytical, simulation, and experimental methods, understands the principles of environmental protection technologies' operation, as well as legal regulations and administrative procedures used in environmental protection. The graduate is prepared to work in state and local administration bodies dealing with environmental protection, as well as in industrial and service enterprises and consulting firms. The acquired knowledge and skills provide a basis for starting one's own business within companies offering consulting services in the field of environmental protection and remediation technologies for degraded areas.

Education Requirements

Entry requirements:

• a diploma of the first-cycle studies (Bachelor’s degree or equivalent) in Environmental Protection obtained outside Poland and entitling the holder to apply for second-cycle studies in the country where it was issued.

• a diploma in another related field of study (Bachelor’s degree or equivalent).

In this case, the alignment of learning outcomes must be verified based on the uploaded academic transcript (list of subjects, hours, grades, and ECTS or equivalent credits). If discrepancies in expected learning outcomes are identified, the candidate will be required to address the competency gaps during their second-cycle studies by completing the subjects indicated by the admissions committee. The required additional coursework may not exceed 30 ECTS.

• Confirmed English proficiency at a minimum B2 level, demonstrated by an accepted language certificate or (if applicable) by an online English-proficiency interview. 

Candidates who meet the above requirements are qualified based on the arithmetic average of all final grades from the subjects included in the program of completed studies.

If the number of applicants exceeds the admission limit, first-cycle environmental engineering graduates will be admitted first (based on the average grade from completed studies), followed by graduates of other fields of study (based on the average grade from completed studies). The result, based on which the ranking list is created, is the product of the aforementioned average and the alignment coefficient.
