Qualification Requirements and Regulations
Qualification Requirements:
Finished higher education in Bachelor's degree programme.
Regulations:
The Czech educational system is regulated by the Higher Education Act (Act 111/1998). Studies at VSB-TUO are regulated by the Statute of VSB – Technical University of Ostrava.
Profile of the Programme
Conception of study in the master's study programme Process Engineering enables a high adaptability and flexibility of graduates in the social practice. Graduates have high knowledge in natural sciences and broadly conceived physicochemical and engineering background. They also acquire findings from inorganic and organic technologies, chemical and physical analysis of materials and raw materials. In the frame of the study programme it is possible to study the master's branch: Chemical and Environmental Engineering. Study programme Process Engineering educate qualified experts for technical and/or control positions in industry, research institutes and departments of public service. Deep theoretical background of graduates enables them to continue their education in doctoral (postgradual) study programmes.
Key Learning Outcomes
Key Lerning Outcomes are Expressed in following Structure: Knowledge, Skills, General competencies
Knowledge:
Graduates have a deep knowledge in the chemical, process and information technologies (not only in their field of study) and their impacts on components of environment, their knowledge are in accordance with the topical state of knowledge in the field of study.
Skills:
Graduates can apply their knowledge and understanding, and problem solving abilities in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study
General competencies:
Graduates have the ability to integrate knowledge and handle complexity, and formulate judgments on the base of incomplete or limited information; the judgments include reflecting on social and ethical responsibilities. Graduates can communicate their conclusions, and the knowledge and rationale underpinning these, to specialist and non-specialist audiences clearly and unambiguously. Graduates have the learning skills to allow them to continue to study in a manner that may be largely self-directed or autonomous.
Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples
Graduates of the study field Chemical Engineering are ready for higher technical positions in the process technology enterprises (chemistry, fuel industry, manufacturing industry, food-processing industry, metallurgy etc.). They are able to adopt promptly new activities in industrial and research laboratories and in the projects organisations. Graduate can utilise his/her qualification also in science, education system and public administration. Graduates of the study field Chemical and Physical Methods of Material Testing find their employment in various executive or manager positions in laboratories, in research, industrial and scientific companies or in the specialized organizations (air, waste and water treatment sections of significant industrial companies and public administration). They can find employment also in relevant areas of science and in education system.
Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading
