Best Masters in Natural Sciences in Croatia 2017. Master in Architecture and Urban Planning in Mediterranean Environment As of the academic year 2013/2014 the University of Split will be providing a new graduate course of study of architecture in the English language, granting the students the degree of Master of science in Architecture and Urban Planning in Mediterranean Environment. The university study of architecture at the University of Split has existed since 2003, in the meantime winning international recognition, establishing an extensive collaboration with a number of universities in Europe (Zürich, Winterthur, Aachen, Madrid, etc) and Japan (Tokyo). It has become a distinguished study programme of architecture due to the excellent skills in individual disciplines, such as architectural design, urban planning and heritage preservation, as well as to the successful endeavour of combining them into multidisciplinary competences. The historical core of Split, dominated by the renowned Diocletian's Palace, has been as an unique historical site in its entirety included in the cultural heritage under the protection of UNESCO. Objectives The programme is aimed at enabling the students to competently solve complex architectural tasks in an exceptionally demanding Mediterranean environment. Design and planning tasks motivate the students to face the problems of architectural practice in the sensitive natural coastal environment, as well as the inherited historical context and the authority of the spatial criteria and requirements. It also encourages the students to take a critical attitude and to develop specific designing skills in order to successfully rise up to developmental challenges.... [-]

Master in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering PRESENTATION In the academic year 2013-2014, Faculty of Civil engineering, Architecture and Geodesy launches a new, English-taught, master program in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering. The program educates engineers enabling them to solve environmental and water resources problems by applying principles from natural sciences, engineering, economics and other disciplines. Prospective students will be provided with the engineering and scientific fundamentals in order to be able to face current and future engineering and environmental problems. The study offers interdisciplinary approach to better understand the world labor market demand and provides students with a wider picture of water resources and environmental engineering through fundamentals and basic principles. OBJECTIVES / MISSION The goal of the WREE program is to train outstanding engineers and future scientists to conduct research in areas that are of great importance to modern engineering needs in the areas of water resources and environmental engineering. It is our intention to provide students with a high quality-learning environment to gain fundamentals and specialized engineering knowledge, while developing skills in critical thinking, communication, teamwork and leadership. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS The master program addresses candidates holding at least Bachelor's Degree (first cycle, 6th EQF level, minimum 180 ECTS credits or equivalent) in civil engineering and related fields (e.g., agricultural or environmental engineering, geology, geography, etc.). The prospective students should have sufficient knowledge of English (knowledge level B1 of the Common European Framework CEF).

Career  prospects  in  aquaculture  are  multiple  and  primarily  involve  the  possibility of employment directly related to production, such as: cultivation,  maintenance, feeding, fishing, transportation etc., but also those related to the  management of spawning and farming centres. Smaller farming facilities in  aquaculture are mostly managed by one expert in charge of the complete  farming process, including company and financial management. Practical experience worldwide indicates that graduate experts in aquaculture  may find employment in numerous accompanying services to aquaculture  production, starting from the supply of equipment and food, the consumer  sales of fish and shellfish, through to consultancy in commercial enterprises  and in state institutions. Upon  completion  of  the  graduate  study  in  Mariculture  students  will  have  gained the skills required for independent work on the introduction of new  species of aquatic organisms into commercial aquaculture production....
