Protection of population with focus on chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear noxae and explosives

The Bachelor study takes three years. The Bachelor study discipline of Protection of population with focus on chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear noxae and explosives was created by transformation of the preceding discipline of Applied radiobiology and toxicology. The lessons take place in attendance and combined form. By graduating from them, the students will acquire the knowledge needed for the issues of crisis management with focus on extraordinary incidents and crisis situations, particularly in relation to chemical, biological, radiological and explosive noxae affecting both the human and the flora and fauna, including the possibilities of their detection and prevention.

The acquired theoretical and practical pieces of knowledge, habits and experience will allow the graduate from this discipline to find broad employment.
