Graduate profile

Description
The study program Rescue, Fire and Safety Technology, Mining Planning (3rd level - doctoral study) will provide graduates with a broader professional profile, with comprehensive quality knowledge in the areas of occupational health and safety, fire and accident prevention, rescue and rescue systems connected to an integrated rescue system, hazardous substances, serious industrial accidents, emergencies, interventions in emergencies, civil protection of the population, planning of mining processes and mining systems, technical systems and technological processes in the construction and operation of tunnels, but also natural dynamic processes related to technical problems. Graduates know and can use scientific and research methods that can be used to describe the rock massif, the geotechnical stability of the underground space, the course and factors of fires and other emergencies, the safety and fire risks of the activities carried out, as well as the course of technological processes and systems in the extraction and acquisition of raw materials and the effectiveness of preventive, rescue and liquidation protective activities in emergencies threatening people and the surrounding environment. In the doctoral study program, graduates of the aforementioned SP in an individual form of study are profiled for scientific and research work applicable in the field of technical and engineering use of the earth's crust in accordance with the basic principles of its sustainability (economic efficiency, safety, environmental acceptability). A graduate of the doctoral study master the methods and methodological procedures used in theoretical and applied research in the field of research of interactive bonds in the rock environment, safety aspects of industry and protection of the population from the threats of emergencies. Observation, technical analysis and evaluation of processes in these areas of research is the main subject of investigation and scientific research of the graduate. The cross-sectional nature of the Master's degree in Rescue, Fire and Safety Technology, Mining Planning does not exclude the application of graduates in other sectors of industry.
Learning objectives
A graduate of the doctoral program in Rescue, Fire and Safety Technology, Mining Planning masters scientific methods of research and investigation of phenomena, knows laboratory techniques of research work, and is also able to formulate and define problems related to detailed investigation of mining processes and mining systems, safety and emergency systems of operations, technical systems and technological processes in the construction and operation of tunnels, but also natural dynamic processes related to technical problems. He knows and can use scientific and research methods that can be used to describe the rock massif, the geotechnical stability of the underground space, but also the course of technological processes and systems in the extraction of raw materials, including environmental processes or their influence by mining, as well as the construction and use of underground works of various types. An essential part of this is also the control of ensuring safety in the above activities. Within the study program, doctoral students have the opportunity for individual theoretical research and practical verification of the proposed solution procedures or. methodologies, especially in the field of occupational health and safety, fire and accident prevention, rescue and rescue systems connected to an integrated rescue system, hazardous substances, serious industrial accidents, emergencies, emergency response, civil protection of the population, as well as in ensuring economic efficiency, safety and environmental acceptability of mineral extraction by various methods and the construction of underground works. Special attention is paid to the field of rock disintegration, especially in the field of the theory of explosives and their use in the extraction of raw materials, tunnel construction and rescue work.
