Understand environmental changes – Trace pollutants – Develop sustainable solutions
Environmental Geosciences is an English-taught, multidisciplinary MSc programme focused on understanding and solving real environmental issues at the interface of the rock, water, soil and environmental systems. The programme combines a variety of Earth science disciplines, including applied geology, environmental geochemistry, environmental hydrogeology with environmental analytical methods for water, soil, and biota analysis and data interpretation.
Designed for a rapidly changing world, the programme reflects the dynamic development of modern environmental sciences and equips students to address challenges such as contamination, degradation of soil and water quality, waste and resource management, climate and land-use change, and the environmental impacts of human activities.
Where can you work?
Graduates are prepared for careers in environmental consultancy and assessment • environmental agencies and public administration • contaminated-site investigation and remediation • water management and treatment • waste and resource management • environmental laboratories • research institutes and universities • environmental monitoring and modelling.
Who should apply?
The programme is suitable for graduates with a Bachelor's degree in environmental engineering • environmental chemistry • geosciences • geology • soil science • natural sciences • materials science • or related disciplines
Why apply?
The programme offers the advantages of a small, internationally oriented study environment, with close contact with academic staff, researchers and external specialists.
Programme details
Choose your study pathway and build your own professional profile
The programme combines a common scientific foundation with increasing flexibility as students progress through their studies. Compulsory courses provide a strong knowledge basis in Environmental Geosciences and students gain hands-on field and laboratory experience to develop practical skills from sample collection, treatment, analysis, data processing to environmentally relevant interpretation. Elective courses allow students to shape their specialisation and further apply their knowledge to real-world environmental challenges.
Environmental Geosciences is not based on lectures alone. Students learn through a combination of lectures and seminars • laboratory practice • field training and excursions • computational and data-based work • team projects • professional and research practice • Master's research project.
In addition to scientific expertise, students develop transferable professional skills essential for environmental careers: critical thinking • teamwork • communication • scientific information search • data analysis • problem solving • time and project management • independent work
Students deepen their expertise through elective courses and professional or research practice in the Czech Republic or abroad, including Erasmus opportunities. The Master's thesis/project provides an opportunity to address a real scientific or environmental problem. Students interested in research can participate in current fundamental and applied research projects at the department, working with experienced research teams and modern analytical facilities.
