If we understand what is happening in the environment, we will be able to better protect the environment, but also use natural resources more efficiently.
The study programme focuses mainly on soil and water, which are the two most important components of the environment.Without soil and water, life on earth would not be possible.Their quality directly affects plants and animals and thus the quality of food.
As part of your studies, you will learn how to assess soil and water resources, how soil organisms and plants interact with the soil environment, how contaminants from various resources migrate in the soil and water environments, and how these contaminates affect living organisms.
