Earth Sciences in a Changing World at Jagiellonian University in Kraków is a bachelor's program lasting three years across six semesters, taught in English in Kraków, Poland. Yearly tuition is PLN 12,100. The program is an undergraduate, interdisciplinary course that takes an international and comparative approach to the contemporary global system. Its aim is to encourage creative thinking about complex global problems and to give students the analytical tools and cross-cultural understanding needed to work through them. The core of the program is grounded in geography, geology, and the anthropogenic transformations affecting the environment, along with their impact on local communities and on global change more broadly. Students develop the ability to observe and interpret environmental phenomena and to carry out basic analytical work, both individually and as part of a team, while also building adaptability to a changing socio-economic environment, civic responsibility, and independence. Graduates come away with solid knowledge of geography and geology and the ability to identify and describe anthropogenic changes occurring in the environment. They can assess the environmental, social, and economic impact of both natural and human-driven environmental change, and they learn the basic methods of environmental management and the principles of sustainable development. The program also builds the capacity to observe, interpret, and forecast environmental phenomena, propose solutions, and prepare expert assessments. Career paths for graduates include environmental consulting, geographic and geological survey work, sustainability roles in public and private organizations, and further study in environmental or earth sciences.
