Enviromental Protection in English (spec. Restoration and Management of Enviroment)
recruitment:
Candidates eligible for the qualification process include those:- Holding a relevant diploma:
- first-cycle diploma in environmental protection obtained in the Polish education system, - Holding a diploma requiring verification of alignment of learning outcomes:
- a diploma from another related first-cycle study program or long-cycle master's studies obtained in the Polish education system, or
-a foreign diploma (Bachelor’s degree or equivalent) in environmental protection 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 protection 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.
