The postgraduate programme is part of the strategic planning of DUTH and aims at the further promotion of knowledge, the development of research and the arts, the satisfaction of the educational, research, social, cultural and development needs, in the high-level specialization of graduates in theoretical and applied areas of the Environmental Engineering area.
The purpose of this interdisciplinary program is to impart the necessary knowledge to graduates of theoretical schools, who, deal with issues related to the protection of the environment and environmental legislation and to contribute to the understanding of the interrelationships between persons of different disciplines.
In addition, the postgraduate programme will contribute to:
(1) Development and support of communication between persons of different disciplines (applied science, low) working in environment related issues for more effective implementation of legislation.
(2) Creation of specialized scientific potential in the academic subjects of the postgraduate programme.
(3) Promotion of scientific research in the field of the postgraduate programme, in accordance with international rules and international specifications.
The master degree offers a comparative advantage to every candidate for administrative positions in Local Government Organizations, Administrative Organizations, legal and judicial services, political planners, and in EU services or international organizations, due to the increasing interest of the international and European community in environmental legislation.
The postgraduate programme targets to the understanding of the interrelationship requirements between technosphere, ecosphere and legislation. In order to achieve the goals of the legislation, the application of technologies is required, which are the subject of technicalities referred to a wide range of natural, chemical and biochemical processes. Therefore, it is important the familiarization with the corresponding technical terminology, limits and specifications and the available technologies that can be applied to achieve the objectives of the legislation, taking as well into consideration the economic component.
