by the Faculty of Earth and Environmental Sciences and Engineering
The programme aims to train highly qualified engineers to address geological and environmental issues related to surface and subsurface waters. There is emphasis on the protection and management of groundwater resources, which is increasingly important in drinking water supply, mineral and medicinal water use and geothermal energy production. Additionally, there is focus on the remediation of contaminated sites to protect water quality and quantity.
Applicants are screened based on the documents uploaded to the Dreamapply system. Those who do not meet the eligibility criteria (relevant bachelor’s degree, language certificate of B2 or higher, or proof of studies conducted in English) are filtered out.
Applicants are assessed based on their uploaded documents and can earn up to 30 points. Points are awarded for professional background (qualification and work experience) based on transcript of records (15 points), motivation letter (10 points), and ranking of the higher education institution where the previous degree was obtained (5 points).
The online entrance exam lasts 20-30 minutes and includes pre-set questions to assess the applicant’s management knowledge, professional skills, thesis or project work, and language proficiency. Applicants can score up to 70 points: for professional background 50 points, spoken language skills 20 points.
Applicants can score a maximum of 100 points (30 points for document assessment and 70 points from the online entrance exam). Those who score at least 60 points will be admitted to the programme. Those who score less than 60 points will be rejected.
Graduates will be equipped to solve problems related t subsurface constructions for various engineering structures, including buildings, tunnels, railways, underground transport systems, reservoirs, earthworks, roads, surface mines, underground mines.

Our faculty has a history of more than 300 years, which proves the continuous demand for our professionals. Due to the developing economy, the demand for raw materials, energy and water is increasing, thus the mining industry must also adapt. In the near future, global challenges such as low carbon dioxide emissions, circular economy, water mining or environmentally friendly mining must be solved. The professors and researchers of our faculty prepare our students for these challenges and their solutions.
