Introduction
The aim of this program is to train environmental engineers with up-to-date knowledge in natural sciences, earth sciences, engineering, economics, and management. One specialization focuses to identify and evaluate potential environmental hazards and of preventing or reducing the impact and risk of environmental threats, as well as managing the damage control projects. The other specialization trains professionals for the circular economy, focusing on recycling technologies and processes.

Career Opportunities
Environmental engineers from Remediation and environmental geotechnics specialization will be able to work out at advanced level technical solutions and apply them to prevent contamination of the environment. They are trained in contaminated site remediation, and risk assessment, planning and operating monitoring systems, carrying out impact assessments and environmental protection reviews, and producing impact studies.
Graduates of Waste management specialization will be capable of designing and operating waste management and treatment systems, planning and implementing tasks related to waste treatment and disposal, design landfills and waste recycling facilities.
