Environment and green economy

Job opportunities in the field of Environment & Green Economy highlight the importance of an interdisciplinary approach that integrates knowledge from the natural sciences, economics, management, and law.

Accordingly, the concept underpinning the first-cycle degree programme in this field is to provide students with a fundamental understanding of environmental processes and economic principles, enabling them to comprehend the demands placed by today’s dynamic agriculture, services, energy, and market economy sectors in the face of challenges arising from the need for environmental protection and adaptation to anthropogenic climate change.

The proposed degree programme places particular emphasis on:

• understanding the fundamentals of natural processes;
• analysing the interrelationships between the environment and the economy;
• developing analytical and project-based skills, including the use of artificial intelligence;
• fostering social competences and a sense of environmental responsibility and ESG,

Graduates are prepared to enter a modern and dynamic labour market that requires the integration of environmental protection requirements with the transformation of agriculture and the wider economy, as well as with the associated social changes and the green transition.

The programme prepares graduates for junior-level positions in sectors related to the green transition and climate change adaptation, while also providing a solid foundation for further education at second-cycle level.
