Enviromental Protection in English (spec. Modern Engineering in Water Management)
recruitment:
Candidates eligible for the qualification process include those:- Holding a relevant diploma:
- a first-cycle diploma of an engineer in environmental engineering obtained in the Polish education system, - Holding a diploma requiring verification of alignment of learning outcomes:
- a first-cycle diploma of an engineer or a diploma of completion of long-cycle master's studies in another related field of study obtained in the Polish education system, or
- a foreign diploma (Bachelor of Engineering or equivalent) in environmental engineering or related field of study entitling the holder to apply for second-cycle studies in the country of issue.
Method of verifying the alignment of learning outcomes: A scan of the diploma supplement or a certified transcript from the university listing subjects, hours, grades, and ECTS points completed in the study program based on which the candidate applies for admission is verified. The candidate uploads the specified documents to their profile in the IRK system. If any discrepancies in learning outcomes are identified through analysis, the student will be required to make up for the competency gaps during their second-cycle studies by completing and passing the subjects indicated by the committee, not exceeding 30 ECTS. Candidates who have had their expected learning outcomes positively verified are considered further in the qualification process.
Candidates whose English language proficiency at a minimum B2 level has been confirmed through the acceptance of an uploaded language certificate in the IRK or through an interview verifying English language proficiency at the same level are eligible for the qualification process.
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 candidates 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.

Studies conducted in English language
Description of direction
The studies allow you to gain interdisciplinary knowledge in the field of:
• physicochemical and biological processes in the natural environment,
• causes and mechanisms of threats and degradation of individual elements of the environment (atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere),
• the impact of technical, agricultural and forestry activities on the environment,
• technologies used in environmental protection and rehabilitation,
• legal and economic instruments used in environmental protection,
• spatial information systems and other computer techniques used in environmental management.
The study program includes:
Ecotoxicology, the flow of pollutants in the environment, decision support systems in environmental protection, management of environmental resources, modeling of environmental processes. Depending on the level and form of studies, students can broaden their knowledge of the following issues: environmental management, protection and shaping of water resources, technologies in environmental protection, environmental protection systems, Restoration and Management of Environment (specialization in English).
