VMU Agriculture Academy is launching a new MA program, Aquamatics
Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) Agriculture Academy is launching Aquamatics, a new double-diploma master’s program in Environmental Engineering (E03), within the broader field of Engineering Sciences (E). This forward-thinking program addresses the growing global demand for experts in sustainable water management and environmental protection. Aquamatics provides students with interdisciplinary knowledge and hands-on skills, empowering them to tackle complex challenges in water-related environmental issues.
The aim of the study program Aquamatics is to prepare highly qualified environmental engineering specialists who are able to solve theoretical and practical problems of water management, analyse and model natural water phenomena and engineering processes using the latest information technologies by integrating knowledge from different fields. The graduate will not only understand the problems of threats arising from climate change and related hydrological and hydrobiological changes, but will be ready to search for solutions by determining the causes of environmental changes and rationally evaluating/predicting their ecological effects and changes as well. The Master will be able to offer practical solutions to eliminate/limit the impact of such activities by performing: an inventory of surface and underground water and water-related environment; implementing effective monitoring methods for these areas, proposing and checking the effectiveness of corrective actions using statistical and mathematical modelling methods, design activities related to water environment protection and melioration, implement modern, proven solutions related for water protection. Upon successful completion of these studies, the degree of Master of Science in Engineering will be awarded.
The program is carried out in collaboration with University of Silesia in Katowice. The admission is planned for 2025 autumn (opening from December 1, 2024).
