Access to further education
Graduate masters of the "Engineering Ecology" can continue their "PhD" degree education in Technical University of Sofia or abroad in appropriate scientific fields. Excellent students can be sent abroad with the "Erasmus+" program, for training and preparing a thesis in leading European universities. And also it is provides a direct cooperation with industry leading companies to establishing a direct connection between the students and industrial environment.
Actuality
The training in the degree program is conformable with the latest advances in technology, as well as educational and research programs of the leading European universities in England, Germany, France, Italy, etc.
General characteristics of education
Training in the master program "Engineering Ecology" gives as a solid and thorough knowledge in the basic areas relating to the balance in the relationship between natural resources and technologies used in the industry and in the field of industrial pollution and the impact of investment intentions on the environment, renewable energy sources, modelling the behavior of pollutants, environmental technology and management. This complex of knowledge, skills and practical experience make up prepared and useful specialists for the industry in terms of increasing pollution, depletion of natural resources and the globalization of the labour market.
