Denisa Mehaj – National Environment Agency

“My studies in Environmental Engineering have provided me with knowledge of environmental legislation and EIA. At the National Environment Agency, I am involved in the technical analysis of reports and the assessment of project compliance with legal standards.”

Andi Toska – Environmental Specialist

“This program offered by AUT has equipped me with knowledge of environmental management and legislation. As an environmental specialist, I monitor and report environmental impacts, contributing to sustainable development.”

Odetta Shkurtaj – National Coastal Agency

“My studies at AUT provided me with knowledge of coastal zone management and environmental legislation. At the National Agency of the Coast, I am engaged in assessing interventions and environmental impacts.”

Arlinda Shehu, Inspectorate of Territorial Protection:

“With a background in environmental sciences and experience at the National Territorial Protection Inspectorate, I work to ensure the enforcement of environmental standards and sustainable territorial development.”

• 26–27% of the credits in Natural Sciences
• 50% of the credits in Engineering and Technology
• 23–24% of the credits in Social, Economic, and Political Sciences

During the development of this program, an integrated and interdisciplinary approach is followed, where

theoretical training is balanced with practical and professional training. Natural sciences provide

the analytical and scientific foundation for understanding environmental processes, while the field of

engineering and technology focuses on the practical application of knowledge to

water, land, and environmental management. At the same time, social, economic, and

political sciences contribute to the development of skills in management, decision-making, and policy design

policies. This combination ensures a comprehensive preparation of students to

address complex challenges in the field of natural resources and the environment.
