Mineralurgy and environmental technologies

A graduate of the Mineralogy and Environmental Technologies study program has knowledge of scientific methods of research and development in the field of obtaining and processing earth resources (modeling of mineralogy processes, design of mineralogy technologies, methods of spectral analysis). He understands the physical and chemical nature of the processes used within his specialization and their impact on the complexity and difficulty of the technology. The graduate can formulate and create new hypotheses, judgments and strategies for further research and development of the field of study and the study program. He applies his own findings of his theoretical analysis and his complex scientific research to solve problems in this field. He is able to design, verify and implement new research and work procedures from the identified outputs. The selected methods are applied in the search for innovative technologies (bio and nanotechnologies). Graduates of the study program are able to work in organizations dealing with monitoring and evaluating the state of the environment, waste management issues, and environmental impact assessment. Possible application is in the state and private sphere - in state administration, local self-government, related to the environment, in industrial enterprises whose activity is related to the processing of raw materials, in various environmental organizations, in scientific institutions.

The graduate follows up his studies of the same program in the second degree, or second-degree studies of an accredited program in one of the related fields of study. By studying selected theoretical and technological subjects as well as scientific and professional literature (usually in some world language), he acquires and analyzes the latest knowledge in the field of mineralogy and environmental technologies, or other sciences. By synthesizing them, he evaluates the current state of the issue (defined by the topic of the doctoral thesis) and proposes the method(s) of its solution. He masters modern scientific methods of theoretical and experimental research and knows how to apply them in such a way that the achieved results and conclusions obtained during research in a given issue are an original contribution to the development of the scientific field and/or to practice. FBERG TUKE respects the diversity of students by allowing the student to choose topics assignments and projects, as well as the topic of the final thesis, the possibility of choosing compulsory elective subjects, choosing the place of implementation of the practice, the creation of solving teams during the processing of projects and assignments, while the students themselves create a position in the solving team. FBERG TUKE creates a closer link between the study program and the demands of the labor market by defining educational outcomes, which enables students to make an informed choice. Mandatory optional subjects are equivalent subjects and profile the knowledge and competences of the graduate of the doctoral study program mineralogy and environmental technologies. The structure of the subjects of the study program is designed so that the graduate of the doctoral program acquires extensive knowledge and skills that will enable him to analyze, model, assess and evaluate processes related to the treatment and processing of primary and secondary raw materials. The acquired knowledge in the field of technical and natural science disciplines will enable graduates to develop and to use more perfect and thus more efficient raw material treatment technologies. To a large extent, these will be innovations of the existing physical treatment technologies commonly used today, but non-traditional technologies - based on physico-chemical, chemical and biological principles (chemical technologies, biotechnology, etc.) will be increasingly promoted. Information about technologies (developed and applied in the treatment of primary raw materials) graduates will be able to apply in environmental technologies, e.g. during treatment and purification of water and air, during processing, or recycling of waste - secondary raw materials (recycling of car wrecks, electronic devices, etc., but also municipal waste in developed societies, using traditional treatment technologies). Graduates of the mineralogy and environmental technologies study program find employment within the aforementioned field (especially the field of raw materials processing, water treatment and purification, air protection, waste management, waste recycling, assessment of the impact of pollution on environmental components) in both the state and private spheres.
