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.
