The rapid development of economic activities has led to intensive changes to the surrounding environment. In response to this, new research has been started in the field of environmental protection and rational environmental management. There is a high demand for specialists that can monitor ecological conditions, create new low-waste technologies, and bring their experience with industrial fields and technological problems. Today, it is impossible to build a building, road, or factory without ecological expertise. Further, not one company can work in the current ecological situation without environmental engineers monitoring and making sure that everything is clean and safe. Knowledge of the laws of nature serves as a base for solving practical questions about environmental management and evaluating the condition of the environment around us.
After considering these factors, environmental management was chosen as a priority. Future specialists receive experience at industrial enterprises, as well as in administrative, academic, and scientific organizations.
History
The Department of Environmental Engineering was founded in 1997 as the Department of Environmental Technology, as part of the Faculty of Engineering. In the 1998-1999 academic year, the name of the department was changed to Environmental Engineering. The Department offers Bachelor’s, Master’s degrees in environmental engineering. The first students were admitted in the 1997-1998 academic year, and since then 19 classes of undergraduate students and 11 classes of graduate students have completed their degrees.

Today, ecology is not just a science about nature. It is the language of conversation with the future. The quality of life, the sustainability of cities, and the safety of entire regions directly depend on how competently we design, build, operate, and recycle
Environmental engineering stands at the intersection of science, technology, and responsibility. We don't simply study the environment—we learn to manage complex natural and technical systems so that societal development doesn't conflict with nature. A modern environmental engineer is a specialist with an equal understanding of the physics of processes, digital technologies, economics, and environmental law.
Our department trains precisely such specialists: thoughtful, flexible, and focused on real-world problems and global challenges. We teach not only how to work with the consequences but also how to prevent problems at the design stage—whether it's an industrial facility, urban infrastructure, or energy systems.
The world is changing rapidly: climate, resources, technology. But one thing remains constant—the need for a careful and responsible attitude toward the planet. The future belongs to those who can combine engineering precision with ecological thinking.
If you want to be part of the solutions, not the problems, environmental engineering awaits you
