Introduction
Bachelors in Energetics and Environments
Do you want to become an energy expert? If so, then our study program Energetics and Environments opens up a wide range of opportunities for you. Both in the field of so-called large-scale energetics, which mainly includes large energy companies such as power plants, heating plants, gas plants and also the energy operations of large chemical, metallurgical, etc., as well as small-scale energetics, because each company has its own energy electricity, heat, gas, compressed air, water, ventilation or air conditioning etc. And so you can meet our graduates in breweries or chocolate factories. And why is the name environmental? This is because today's energy technologies must be operated so as to have the least negative impact on the environment around us.

Program Outcome
Graduate's knowledge
Students will acquire knowledge concerning the operation, construction and management of power equipment and units, both in the field of "large-scale" and industrial and municipal power engineering. Students will be knowledgeable especially about the problems of utilization of energy sources, their production and possibilities of transformation incl. heat transfer and combustion.
Students of the program will also be knowledgeable about the links between society and energy practice, such as the importance of energy in our society, ensuring energy self-sufficiency, etc.
The students will also complete the required content of their studies at their discretion by choosing from compulsory elective (CE) courses, which are divided into two compulsory elective circuits (according to two compulsory elective SFE): .(i) Operation of power equipment and (ii) Environment conservation technology.
With regard to the selected compulsory elective group of subjects, students will broaden their professional profile with knowledge in the fields of industrial energy, nuclear energy and operational energy measurement or (ii) or waste management, environmental impact of energy practice, ecology and alternative energy sources. In addition to the aforementioned knowledge in the field of energy, the graduate will also be familiar with the more general disciplines that will be part of the program in the first two years of study: mathematics, hydromechanics, thermomechanics, computer graphics, physics, solid mechanics, engineering materials and manufacturing technologies.

Career Opportunities
Graduate's employment
Graduates will be able to work in various jobs in the field of energy.
Within the compulsory elective circuit Operation of Energy Equipment, graduates will find employment in power plants and heating plants, in energy departments in all types of industrial enterprises, in transport organizations and in the non-manufacturing sector, and also in state administration departments. Also in design offices of power distribution, heat supply systems and treatment and waste water treatment plants. Thanks to their acquired technical knowledge, graduates will find employment in the departments of creation and protection of the environment in all types of industrial, chemical and energy enterprises and organizations dealing with waste management and monitoring and evaluation of the state of the environment. They will also find employment in state administration departments, for example as state authority inspectors.
Specifically, a graduate can work in practice as:
- Operations and design worker in power plants and heating plants or in energy and environmental departments in all types of industrial enterprises, transport organizations and in the non-production field incl. state administration,
- Computer engineer and designer in power plants and companies,
- Creative worker in design studios focusing on energy,
- Inspection and testing technician of power equipment,
- Energy Audit Officer
- A worker holding lower management positions in energy companies.
