About the programme
The main objective of the interdisciplinary doctoral programme in Environmental Protection is the interdisciplinary training of highly qualified professionals who will be able to solve complex environmental problems with an interdisciplinary approach and the ability to integrate knowledge from different fields into a comprehensive solution. The integration of different disciplines and knowledge from all fields of science, from the humanities, engineering, medicine, to natural sciences and biotechnology, is therefore a prerequisite for the successful management of environmental protection issues. The aim of the programme is to train doctoral students for creative and independent scientific research work, who will be able to solve complex environmental problems with an interdisciplinary approach after completing their studies.
