Integrated Solid Waste Management

Profession

The professional activity of a modern ecologist is impossible without
the use
of the latest
technologies,

diagnostic tools,
monitoring and modeling. The problem of waste management is
one of the global problems of mankind. Consequently, the improvement
of the sanitary condition of settlements and the rehabilitation of territories
occupied by sanitary landfills and unauthorized landfills,
the use of waste as an energy resource – all this falls within the sphere
of interests of a specialist in waste management of production and
consumption, and unequivocally guarantees the professional significance and
future employment of a graduate of an educational program.
Training according to the Master's degree program "Integrated
Solid Waste Management / Integrated solid
waste management" will allow the graduate to master both comprehensive knowledge in
modern ecology and skills of working with modern
software, to solve such types of tasks as the organization and optimization
of existing
