Environmental Physics, Renewable Energy Sources, and Meteorology and Climatology Comenius University in Bratislava

Overview

The study plan is based on the modular (block) principle to enable students to continuously adjust their focus within the chosen field of study and to expand the scope of study. The profile subjects of the study plan are compulsory or optional subjects, and the student will acquire the knowledge and skills that are essential for the completion of the study program. The study program is prepared in accordance with the needs of practice and monitors the job applicability of graduates.

The master's degree program in Environmental Physics, Renewable Energy Sources, and Meteorology and Climatology from Comenius University in Bratislava  consists of two parallel blocks: Environmental Physics and Renewable Energy Sources and Meteorology and Climatology. The program is directly related to the bachelor's program Renewable Energy Sources and Environmental Physics, but also enables a smooth transition for graduates of other bachelor's programs in the field of physics. The study program is composed of theoretical and methodological subjects common to both blocks: compulsory profile subjects (Environmental Physics, Data File Analysis Methods, Propagation of Environmental Pollution) and a wide selection of compulsory elective subjects focused on various areas of physics, e.g. geophysics, solid-state or plasma physics, spectroscopy, as well as complex solutions to environmental problems. The study plan also supports the acquisition of practical experience in training and laboratory exercises and subjects focused on measurement and diagnostic methods.

Within the combined study programs, the student chooses, in addition to the compulsory lectures, one of the two blocks of compulsory optional lectures:

The block Environmental Physics and Renewable Energy Sources contains compulsory optional profile subjects focused on hitherto dominantly used non-renewable and promising renewable energy sources and their complex position in global energy, including energy storage methods (Combustion and thermochemical processes, Solar energy and photovoltaics, Nuclear energy and the environment, Hydrogen energy and thermonuclear fusion). Another essential group of subjects are environmental technological subjects, which will be associated with excursions into practice (Air Pollution control Technologies, Water Purification and Treatment, Solid Waste Treatment) and subjects of diagnostic methods of radiation physics (Radionuclide Monitoring Methods, Isotope Methods in Environmental Physics).
