Growing awareness of the human impact on the environment has convinced most governments of the need to prevent air, water, and soil pollution. Increasingly, remediation of contaminated sites is becoming a priority target. Consequently, there is a strong and ever-increasing demand for specialists trained in pollution prevention and remediation. This Joint Erasmus Mundus program addresses these needs by educating a new generation of environmental scientists and engineers who can provide adequate and state-of-the-art environmental technology and engineering solutions to tackle complex, multidisciplinary environmental issues.
Successful graduates will have acquired a comprehensive knowledge of:
- the nature and severity of environmental pollution;
- the way polluted water, waste, gas, soils, and sediments can be treated;
- the way ecosystems and the atmosphere can be protected from pollution;
- the way to prevent environmental pollution through resource management and application of re-use technologies.
They will be able to develop, design, and apply technologies for the prevention and remediation of environmental pollution . In addition, they should be capable of:
- searching scientific information;
- conducting scientific research in the field of environmental technology and engineering;
- reporting their findings by means of scientific reports and papers;
- communicating effectively in English and transferring knowledge to both the scientific and non-scientific world through oral presentations and media communications.
