To earn credit, students must complete at least 80% of all ongoing assignments for their individual project. The assignments are distributed via e-learning, and each task is graded on a scale of 0–1 points. If an assignment is not completed satisfactorily, there is an option to retake it. The final exam consists of a presentation of the individual project and an oral exam. The project presentation will account for 40% of the total course grade, and the oral final exam will account for 60%. Last update: Rippelová Veronika (28.08.2025)

Upon completion of this course, students will gain a comprehensive approach to risk analysis of contaminated sites. They will learn to work with legislative requirements and master risk analysis and quantification methods. This will enable them to effectively interpret and evaluate risks, and subsequently propose appropriate remedial measures. Last update: Rippelová Veronika (29.08.2025)
