The postgraduate study programme (PSP) includes four modules. Each module consists of two semester-long courses. Each course is taught in 13 three-hour lectures. The last semester includes the master’s thesis. The sections are presented as follows:
- Environmental protection technologies
- Management of natural resources and ecosystems
- Technical assessments of environmental risks – crisis management
- Environmental management and economic valuation techniques
Teaching
For each teaching hour, there will be available at least 20 slides posted on e-class as well as supporting material (European Legislation, publications, notes). Also, for every three hours of teaching, the teacher will have made public one hour of remote communication with the students. This equates to contact via e-mail, skype, phone, or other means.
Postgraduate students will have to attend 8 courses in the first two semesters, while in the third they will have to prepare a Master’s Thesis. The course content is presented below:
