Overview

Environmental Sciences and Engineering from Brno University of Technology provides knowledge in fields focused on the environmental protection and also technologies with an overlap to interdisciplinary subjects. The content of the individual subjects is conceived to be fully consistent with designed study objectives and stated profile of a graduate. 

During the study, students improve their theoretical knowledge and practical skills obtained in a bachelor study program, especially in environmental chemistry and processes active in individual elements of environment and in relevant technologies for the environmental protection.
