Mineralurgy and environmental technologies

A graduate of the Mineralurgy and environmental technologies study program possesses knowledge of scientific methods of research and development in the field of extraction and processing of Earth resources (modeling of mineral processing processes, design of mineral processing technologies, and methods of spectral analysis). They understand the physical and chemical principles of the processes used within their specialization and their impact on the complexity and demands of technologies. Graduates are able to formulate and create new hypotheses, judgments, and strategies for further research and development of the study field and the study program. They apply their own findings from theoretical analysis and comprehensive scientific research to solving problems in this area. Based on the obtained results, they are capable of proposing, verifying, and implementing new research and operational procedures. The selected methods are applied in the search for innovative technologies, including bio- and nanotechnologies. Graduates of the study program can find employment in organizations engaged in environmental monitoring and assessment, waste management, and environmental impact assessment. Employment opportunities exist in both the public and private sectors—within state administration, local self-government bodies dealing with environmental issues, industrial enterprises whose activities are related to raw material processing, environmental organizations, and scientific institutions.
