Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies

The faculty prepares specialists of computer control and computer sciences, programmers and scientific researchers in the field of information technologies. We emphasise presence of hands of lab work during studies with theoretical lectures. Course executing involves teacher communication with small group in lab works. Gained skills students apply by solving interdisciplinary issues, such as automatization of processes, smart city solutions, AI software for various disciplines, etc.

Computer Science and Engineering

Programme provides skills to participate in whole software engineering cycle starting from requirements analysis and ending with testing and implementing software. Besides engineering bachelor degree students are awarded programmer qualification. During studies students focus on solving interdisciplinary issues with sustainability challenges in mind and skills of software engineer. Main fields of interdisciplinary collaboration during studies include forestry, landscape architecture and food science. 26 weeks internship in software engineering companies is mandatory.

full time

Computer control and computer science study program focuses on interdisciplinary research and application of computer control solutions in different fields such as agriculture, forestry, biology. There is also an internship for students, to test their skill in real company or research institution. The internship occurs in sixth semester in manufacturing or maintenance companies or departments of information technology, scientific research enterprise, and the university departments.

The aim of the program is to prepare students for their independent work in the field of design and development of software and hardware, as well as in the use of ICT technologies. Provides insight into applications in interdisciplinary areas such as computer control systems, system analysis and information technology applications in biosystems. The study results provide the basis for independent research work, especially in the field of information technology in interdisciplinary applications, give scientific and research work skills.

Environmental, Water and Land Engineering (Master level)

Outcome Based Education Model for the holistic development of the study process. Teaching learning process has been edifices to ensure that students learn by constructing knowledge rather than by receiving knowledge from others. This approach requires new techniques for assessing students' learning that includes assessment as an integral part of teaching to better understand what students have learnt during the process. Faculty members regularly involve students in a research-based learning that is reflected in the various publications and conferences.

Environmental engineering deals with theory and practice of environment, humans and nature-friendly ecotechnology. It analyses conformity of technology principles to the development rules of nature ecosystems, raw materials and energy output, rational use of physical-chemical processes. Students acquire knowledge about water supply, sewage treatment, land amelioration, waste management, rational use of natural resources, construction of countryside roads, water management and hydrology. Field studies are used for research of water management and sewage treatment.

Water resources and management

Implementation of environmental protection activities and environmentally friendly technologies and design; equipment design, assembly and operation; environmental monitoring and control; the engineering improvement of technological processes in accordance with the requirements of environmental legislation and standards; improvement of qualification for the preparation of projects co-financed by the EU funds. Ability to participate in the preparation and supervision of policy documents or other documents in the field of environmental protection. Lead lower-level specialists
