The study program Utilization and protection of earth's resources educates experts needed to fulfill the tasks of the state, the ministry of the economy, the environment, and the management of mineral resources of the Slovak Republic according to Article 4 of the Constitution of the Slovak Republic. The study program provides knowledge, abilities and skills primarily in the field of use and protection of earth's resources based on the results of basic and applied research. Language and communication skills create prerequisites for employment in managerial and economic functions at all levels of management at home and abroad. For the present and especially for the period of the next few decades, it is assumed that its importance will grow based on the need to increase the economic and social efficiency of the use of all categories of social resources at all stages of their processing and thus the growth of the need for experts in this area.

The graduate masters the scientific methods of research and development of the use and protection of earth resources with an orientation to and methods of valuation of earth resources, techniques and technologies of identification, exploration and use of earth resources, finding new - already used earth resources, as well as finding new, non-traditional earth resources, as is e.g. the use of old mine works after the termination of mining activities in them, the use of alternative sources of energy and the like. Last but not least, he is guided to their protection from the point of view of occupational safety and environmental protection. The graduate of the study program is capable of critical analysis, evaluation and synthesis of new and complex concepts in the field of use and protection of earth's resources. Can scientifically research, define, confirm or refute theories, verify the validity, correctness and adequacy of large-scale innovative technological solutions in the field of obtaining and processing land resources, while taking positions on legislative and environmental aspects; define the structure of financial investment in the field of land resources; to define criteria when analyzing and valuing land resources from different perspectives according to the desired purpose and based on the valuation to create concepts for their optimal use and to evaluate these concepts. He is able to carry out these activities with a high degree of creativity and independence and manage research and development in this area. Emphasis is placed on the graduate, depending on the profile, gaining top knowledge in the field of earth resources, their technological, informational, economic, managerial, production and logistical support, as well as environmental protection. The graduate contributes to the expansion of the boundaries of scientific knowledge with his original research primarily in the field of land resources through an extensive set of works, primarily in the form of scientific articles published in international scientific journals, contributions at international conferences and symposiums with active participation.

To analyze the deployment of new technologies and knowledge, primarily in the field of using renewable energy sources, new technologies in the use of earth resources, and the identification and use of geological, geotourism and mountain objects for their new, non-standard use, primarily in the field of CR. The acquired language and professional knowledge will enable the graduate to optimize the management system of workers at all levels of the organization of the industry of acquiring and processing land resources, to take responsibility for the fulfillment of business and social goals within and outside the industry. It creates new knowledge that can be used to define new possibilities for the use and protection of earth's resources. Graduates of the study program find and apply solutions to problems associated with achieving the maximum level of economic efficiency of work and sorting of subjects of the industry, acquisition and processing of land resources, creatively apply all the knowledge obtained as a result of their own work to research the theoretical basis, create concepts and models for the future development of the industry and its subjects , uses knowledge about the nature of technological solutions to industry problems in a comparative way, i.e. by comparing them with solutions in a closer and more distant social environment, solves complex problems of a social nature, applies modern methods of communication in the industry and non-industry environment in at least one of the world's languages.
