For Master's applicants

“Why have we been opening a major in Environmental Studies every year for more than 20 years? Because we believe that nature, landscape and the environment matter. We are doing everything we can to ensure that our field of study will bring more and more educated, skilled and open-minded people in the Czech Republic and Slovakia who are ready to promote environmental solutions in various fields: in public administration and politics, in non-profit organisations, in business, in education and in research.”

doc. Mgr. Karel Stibral, Ph.D.

For a better idea of what you can study with us, you can also watch VIDEO of student presentations of final master theses. The presentations were made in the course Working with Professional Text, in which students had to prepare a 3-minute presentation (elevator speech) using the SUCCESS principle ("Made to stick", Dan and Chip Heath).

“Graduation in this field will enable a better and more objective understanding of the environmental context of life in today's world.”

“In the Department of Environmental Studies, I had the opportunity to study a field that really interested me and developed my ability to think systemically and comprehensively.”

“In retrospect, what I appreciate most from my studies is the friendly attitude of the teachers and the safe and inspiring environment they were able to create in class, on field trips, and at extracurricular events. Enviro, and by extension the entire FSS, showed me that higher education can be meaningful and fulfilling.”

“My Erasmus+ trips and getting to know how other European universities work have been crucial for me. I would advise current students to definitely go on a study abroad or internship during their studies. I'm glad that my studies have equipped me with the proper education that allows me to prepare projects in a way that makes sense from a conservation and climate protection point of view.”

“Environmental studies give students both an excellent general overview in a unique combination of humanities and science subjects, but also the opportunity to get involved in interesting projects during their studies and to start collaborating with potential future employers.”

“During your studies you will meet a lot of great people who care about the fate of our shared home and you will have the opportunity to get to know the workings of the environmental movement.”

“I can definitely recommend studying environmental studies. For me, it formed a very attractive "bridge" between natural and social sciences, and it was able to explain to me, in technical terms, many natural and social phenomena that I had previously thought about only in layman's terms. I perceive my studies at the department and especially the approach of most of the teachers as very open, fair and at the same time healthy self/critical."
"The most helpful for my practice was the first year of the Eco Incubator project I participated in, which my then team of students and I won with a business plan for a company offering carsharing. And although we didn't end up setting up the company, I stuck with the theme and years later we managed to build a growing company out of the originally civic association Autonapůl.”
