We offer a Master's course in Environmental Biotechnology for international students. Environmental Biotechnology is an exciting, fast-growing interdisciplinary field with excellent career opportunities. Our graduates with a Master's degree in this field possess skills in engineering and molecular biology that are in demand in a wide range of industries and scientific fields. Our teachers have years of experience in teaching international students. They are actively involved in the field, with a variety of ongoing research programs and many international publications. We are committed to both practical and theoretical education, so our Master's students work with us on our research projects in our modern laboratories. The programme of Environmental Biotechnology assumes interdisciplinary knowledge and skills, including a combination of methods of molecular biotechnology, chemistry and environmental technologies for the protection and sustainable use of the environment.

Qualifications

Graduates possess advanced knowledge of natural sciences. They have technical expertise in the field of biotechnology, including bioenergy technologies. They can solve problems related to the use of the natural environment using various technologies, including remediation. They use molecular techniques as a tool to draw conclusions about the state of the environment. When dealing with damage to the environment, they can identify the risks and take action to restore environmental balance. Our graduates understand the desirability of continuing education, professional development and international cooperation, and are well prepared for doctoral studies if they choose this career path.

Professional permissions

Our graduates are prepared to work in companies that use innovative solutions in environmental biotechnology, including the exploitation of technological systems used in the environmental protection and design and operation of solutions used for renewable energy production. Our graduates are well prepared for a successful career in industry or academic international institutions.

Requirements

The course is open for applicants who have successfully completed a Bachelor’s degree with 210 ECTS or equivalent, or applicants who have completed a Master’s degree in one of the following areas: biotechnology, environmental engineering, chemical and process engineering, environmental protection, civil engineering, chemical technology or similar. The admission procedure requires the Bachelor's Degree Diploma with a transcript of records. 

Deadline for application

The studies start in February of a particular academic year. Application is up to the beginning of February but apply much earlier if you need to obtain additional documents, e.g. a visa.

Environmental Engineering - second-cycle, full-time, in the field of Process Engineering and Environmental Protection

A Master’s program (MPE) allows you to earn a double Polish-German diploma of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn and the University of Applied Sciences in Offenburg. If you choose to study Process Engineering and Environmental Protection in the field of environmental engineering you will be introduced to the key concepts and problems related to chemistry, process engineering, technology and biotechnology used in environmental engineering and environmental protection and municipal management.

The program takes three semesters to complete: first semester at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, second semester at the University of Applied Sciences in Offenburg and third semester (Master thesis) is conducted either at one of the participating universities or externally at a suitable company or research institution.

Qualifications

The program provides knowledge on modern technologies of water treatment, wastewater treatment, waste management and utilization. You will be able to solve problems related to planning, designing and control of technological processes, supervision and operation of installations for water and wastewater treatment as well as disposal and management of municipal and industrial wastes, independently or in an international team. Students will know and apply advanced research techniques and tools as well as analytical and simulation methods.

Professional permissions

When you graduate Process Engineering, Environmental Protection, you can find employment in international corporations dealing with environmental engineering and environmental protection, industry, biogas plants and biorefineries, in state and local government administration bodies, in research institutes or continue their education in Ph.D. studies.

Requirements

Admission takes place consecutively for graduates who have successfully completed a Bachelor’s/Engineer’s degree with 210 ECTS (or equivalent) in the field of Environmental Engineering or similar fields. Students with a diploma of completion of studies abroad must present the diploma with a transcript of records during the admission procedure; the diploma will be verified by the Commission for the verification of documentation of candidates for English-language studies in the field of Environmental Engineering at the Faculty of Geoengineering.

Payment

Free of charge, registration fee 85 PLN.

Deadline for application

The studies start at the end of February of a particular academic year. Application is organized in 4 phases (in September, November, January, and February). Students should apply much earlier if they need to obtain additional documents, e.g. a visa.

Accommodation

In dormitories in the University Campus.

Scholarships
