The aim of Environmental Science and Protection Bachelor's study programme is to develop the knowledge and practical skills required for environmental specialist to perform environmental monitoring and assessment, analyse natural and anthropogenic environmental and climate changes, their impact on living organisms and ecosystems, and to select solutions for environmental impact mitigation according to the principles of sustainable development and environmental policy. Competencies acquired Graduates will be able: Define the main natural and anthropogenic components of the environment, their interaction and anthropogenic impact on the environment. Apply fundamental and integrated environmental and sustainability knowledge, different theoretical and analytical methods explaining environmental impact, its drivers and suggesting solutions for environmental problems at different scales. Employ fundamental and innovative environmental research equipment and analytical software for data collection, processing and analysis. Apply quantitative and qualitative research methods for environmental monitoring and assessment of the state of the environment and its changes driven by anthropogenic activity. Analyse short-term and long-term environmental and climate changes data and trends, determining their reasons and formulating conclusions. Critically evaluate environmental data from different sources to assess the impact of economic activities on the environment and society and to select proper sustainability-based political, administrative, economic, and technical solutions for environmental impact mitigation. Apply statistical, geoinformatics analysis and modelling of multidisciplinary data for environmental problems assessment and management.
