Water Management, Utilization and Protection

The Water Management, Utilization and Protection study program provides a unique combination of knowledge, skills and competencies necessary for a comprehensive analysis, critical thinking and efficient resolution of current water-related problems using modern methods.

The goal of the study program is to educate graduate agricultural engineers equipped to respond to the challenges of modern water management through the application of tools and digital technologies, especially in light of existing climate change, water scarcity and the demands for ever-increasing food production.

In the Water Management, Utilization and Protection study program, in addition to fundamental courses in the domain of water management, utilization and protection, we constantly introduce new courses, keep pace with contemporary global trends, and bring you the latest achievements and knowledge. From our wide range of elective courses, every student will have the opportunity to choose exactly what interests them most and thereby build upon their knowledge in their desired direction.

During your studies, you will acquire the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge for: identifying, recognizing and solving problems in the field of water management, making optimal engineering decisions and choosing rational approaches and solutions under given conditions; successfully transferring and applying acquired knowledge to solve concrete problems and perform engineering tasks in this field.

Graduate engineers with this profile have the opportunity to take the Engineering Chamber professional exam and obtain a license as a responsible designer and contractor of works in the field of hydro-amelioration.

After graduation, graduate engineers can work in:

• Agricultural companies: crop production under irrigation conditions, management of irrigation systems;
• Water management enterprises: design and execution of works on drainage systems; operation and management of water management systems; flood defense – organization and management;
• Design companies and bureaus in the field of water management, utilization and protection;
• Inspection, communal and advisory services in the fields of agriculture, water management, ecology and environmental protection;
• State administration and local self-government bodies;
• Public enterprises whose activities are related to water management, utilization and protection;
• Scientific and educational institutions.
