The postgraduate master study program of Environmental Engineering is intended to educate highly qualified engineers to work also in research and development institutes in companies and national research institutions. The contemporary based study program is adapted to reflect rich scientific research activity of academic staff at Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Additionally, the program goals are also to bring the students knowledge necessary to continue postgraduate studies at the doctorate level. It is intended to provide students with deep scientific knowledge of environmental engineering, oriented towards practical solutions. The students will gain ability of abstract and associative study and analysis of problems in order to provide solutions and development of different disciplines and transfer knowledge to practice. The students will learn how to effectively apply modern engineering tools to solve most demanding environmental engineering problems. Such concept of the postgraduate master's study program is in accordance with common European orientation in higher education.
Students of master study program will be able to work on complex engineering and scientific tasks. The M.Sc. qualified engineers will have deeper knowledge and increased skills to solve most difficult engineering problems in industry and also the ability to work as a part of research teams. They will be able to seek new knowledge sources and apply most current scientific and research methods for practical solutions of different environmental engineering problems. They will be able to accept the leadership responsibilities and transfer the results of scientific work to practical problems. The broad environmental engineering orientation of the study program will generate creative and innovative potential of students. The students will also acquire complementary skills, values and positive self esteem, which will accompany the accumulated knowledge and add an important part to successful performance of complex tasks.
Master of Environmental Engineering will be fully acquainted with research methods, procedures and processes from a broad field of environmental engineering. With his/hers professional judgement he/she will be able to design, advise and manage technical solutions in the field of environmental engineering, considering also social relevance, ethical responsibility and criteria of environmental sustainability. The M.Sc. qualified engineers with broad analytical and scientific knowledge will find employment in almost all branches of industry, R&D institutes, independent companies, design departments, as project engineers, experts, consultants, managers and research team members.

b. list of elective courses of other 2nd level study programs at any university including abroad.
The course selection is limited by the following conditions:
o Half of selected subjects should be preferentially from the prescribed study programme!
o Students have the possibility to transfer minimum 10 ECTS points from compulsory or selected subjects from one program of study to another!
The Master thesis work comprises scientific and research work on a certain chosen engineering problem. The students have to prepare the Master thesis and publicly present and defend it in front of an examination board. The Master thesis work significantly contributes to the final student MA classification.
