Introduction to the Environmental Science Program

The Environmental Science program at the Faculty of Environmental Science and Engineering is an interdisciplinary field that aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the environment and its components. The program focuses on two main areas: analysis and evaluation of the environment, and environmental management and decision-making.

Program Description

The program is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in environmental science, including the analysis and evaluation of environmental components such as air, water, soil, and biodiversity. Students will also learn about environmental management, including the development of strategies for environmental protection and conservation. The program includes a range of courses, including:

• Bazele știinţei mediului (Fundamentals of Environmental Science)
• Biologie animală (Animal Biology)
• Chimia mediului (Environmental Chemistry)
• Ecologie şi management ecologic (Ecology and Ecological Management)
• Educație fizică I și II (Physical Education I and II)
• Fizica mediului (Environmental Physics)
• Geodinamica mediului (Environmental Geodynamics)
• Informatică aplicată (Applied Informatics)
• Sisteme Informatice geografice aplicate la mediu (Geographic Information Systems applied to the environment)
• Ştiința solului (Soil Science)
