Profile of the Branch
The study branch instructs about basic processes applied in waste management, i.e. activities focusing on handling of waste. The course prepares professionals who will be capable of independent and responsible waste management work as well as professionals who may assert themselves in the public administration. Within the bachelor’s studies there is an emphasis on a wide knowledge in the sphere of waste management, including preparation for waste property evaluation, mineralogy, chemistry, instrumental methods, physics and technologies including the waste management legislative framework.
Key Learning Outcomes
Key Lerning Outcomes are Expressed in following Structure: Knowledge, Skills, General competencies
Knowledge:
Students gain expert knowledge of methods which are required for the performance of independent professional activities in the public administration. They become familiar with technical terminology of the field. They are further able to build on the theoretical knowledge, which is the grounds of the branch methods, and use it in practice. Students gain knowledge related to the principles of modern technologies focusing on handling of waste. Graduates have a grasp of basic information technologies and technologies connected with treatment, utilization and disposal of wastes.
Skills:
On the basis of the acquired theoretical knowledge a graduate is capable of identifying, sorting and interpreting information related to handling of waste. During the studies the graduates learn practical skills of laboratory work, not only to be able to determine the characteristics and properties of wastes but concerning a wide spectrum of activities related to their processing.
General competencies:
The graduates will be able to use their expertise in the practice. They will be capable of dealing with simple technological problems in an independent and responsible manner. The graduates can intelligibly and convincingly convey their expert opinions formed during the studies to their colleagues or other team members. In addition, they are fully prepared for the follow-up Master’s studies.
Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples
The graduates are professionals able to deal with basic problems connected with handling of waste, which includes a spectrum of areas from mineral extraction and their processing, via production all the way to product consumption. Therefore, they may find employment in the public administration departments responsible for waste management and auditing bodies, in companies as waste managers, experts dealing with collection of used products or technologists in waste disposal facilities.
