The study programme focuses on the preparation of environmental specialists with extensive competence in engineering matters for work in private companies and public bodies. The cross-sectoral approach applied to the implementation of the study programme allows students to make practical use of the knowledge acquired in the theoretical part of the training to analyse and address the current problems of the undertakings/institutions in question, which allows students to integrate into the real working environment as far as possible. The implementation of the study programme focuses on the use of innovative pollution prevention technologies and their comprehensive assessment of sustainable economic development. The learning of skills and knowledge under the study programme is provided by academic and scientific staff at European level (EU experts in the fields of environmental engineering and energy, sustainable management of resources, environmental management), who are involved in the delivery of civil engineering solutions at national and European level on a daily basis.

The study programme aims to prepare high-profile and high-quality professionals with integrated academic education with systemic thinking and understanding, who are able to follow the development of environmental technologies and participate successfully in the implementation of environmental and climate technologies.
Tasks of the study programme:
• ensure continuous improvement of the quality of environmental education by training highly educated professionals for the private and public sector in the field of environmental engineering;
• developing the ability of students to carry out research on climate and environmental technologies as a basis for reviewing the regulatory framework for the environment and introducing new requirements;
• developing the capacity to adapt technologies and systems developed abroad to local conditions through pilot projects;
• developing learners' capacity to develop innovative projects aimed at sustainable resource use and reducing environmental pollution;
• promoting interaction between students and academic staff in the development of scientific works and demonstrating best practices for the practical implementation of the results obtained in environmental engineering companies, as well as publishing the results obtained;
• encourage the interest of students and graduates in higher-level study programmes, lifelong learning and academic and scientific excellence.
Graduates of the study programme with acquired cross-disciplinary knowledge in the field of environmental engineering will be able to work in the fields of environmental protection, energy (thermal energy and smart energy), energy efficiency, resource management and related industries, be able to integrate and evaluate innovative environmental and climate technology companies, be able to work in public authorities on the development and implementation of environmental legislation, and participate in the development of the field of environmental engineering at municipal level. Graduates of the programme will also be able to carry out research in the environmental engineering and energy sector, as well as to develop and implement environmental engineering projects.
After obtaining a bachelor's degree, students have the possibility to continue their education in academic master level study programmes (e.g. the RTU academic master's study programme “Environmental engineering”) or professional master level study programmes.
