Profile of the Branch |
---|
The study branch of the follow-up Master’s Studies deepens the knowledge of basic technological processes applied in waste management, i.e. activities focusing on handling of waste. The course prepares specialists who will be capable of independent and responsible waste management work. The Master’s Studies course puts emphasis on deep understanding of the field corresponding to the contemporary state of knowledge in the sphere of waste management. The study branch of Waste Treatment and Disposal applies more sophisticated information in the area of waste property evaluation, waste recycling technologies, chemical and physical treatment methods of wastes and mineral resources, and remediation of old ecological loads connected with past industrial activities. |
Key Learning Outcomes |
---|
Key Lerning Outcomes are Expressed in following Structure: Knowledge, Skills, General competencies |
---|
Knowledge: |
---|
Students deepen their acquired knowledge of methods which are required for the performance of independent professional activities. They also gain information corresponding to the contemporary state of knowledge in the sphere of waste management. They become more familiar with technical terminology of the field. Thanks to their powers of invention, they are further able to transfer 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 removal of selected substances from waste, technologies of retrieval of rare substances and technologies processing bio-degradable waste. Graduates understand possibilities, conditions and limitations of the acquired knowledge also in related fields. |
Skills: |
---|
On the basis of the acquired theoretical knowledge a graduate is capable of creative solving of theoretical or practical problems in the sphere of waste management. A graduate is able to deal with complex issues related to handling of waste independently. They can identify, sort or interpret information related to the field and assert it in practice. During the studies the graduates learn practical skills of laboratory work, not only to be able to determine the characteristics of wastes but concerning a wide spectrum of activities related to their processing. With respect to studying sectional expert subjects and soft skills subjects, a graduate is able to deal with basic technological and managerial tasks related to handling of waste. |
General competencies: |
---|
The graduates will be capable of independent and responsible decision making in new or ever changing contexts of diverse waste management environments. They will be able to implement their expertise in the practice. Next, they will be capable of dealing with technological problems in an independent and responsible manner and will be prepared to be accountable for them. The graduates can intelligibly and convincingly convey their expert opinions formed during the studies to their colleagues or other team members as well as to the public. Having gained necessary experience, they will be ready to execute auditing activities in the sphere of waste management. |
Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples |
---|
The graduates are professionals able to deal with 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, technologists in waste disposal facilities, in material processing or research. |
Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading |
---|
Examination regulations, assesment and grading are described in the Study and Examination Rules. |
