STUDY PROGRAMS
Occupational Safety Department Programs - the Structure of Study Programs
During the first two years of the study program, students gain fundamental knowledge from the area of Occupational Safety and in the third year they decide on one of the tracks by enrolling into a group of courses which are characterized by specific content of the track.
The study program is carried out during two years. The classes are taken during the first three semesters and in the fourth semester students undergo on-the-job training and write a specialist thesis.
In the second year students choose their track and hence adjust the study program to their goals and needs of future employment.
