Bachelor’s programme
Study program: Population Protection
Field of study: Population Protection (Bc.)
Characteristics of the field:
Who among us never dreamed of being a police officer, soldier, firefighter, or rescuer? Except for those who chose the path of an astronaut or garbage man, probably everyone. We simply carry the desire to protect people’s lives or their property within us from an early age. Surely you also feel that security is currently perhaps the most inflected term on the planet. New times demand new heroes: Chuck Norris is simply not enough for everything.
The company is, therefore, looking for experts who will know how to behave properly in crises. If you decide to study this field, you will learn everything you need to do. You will be able to deal with emergencies and crises caused by natural elements, such as floods or fires, participate in crisis and emergency planning, and use technology to support the decisions of crisis managers. That, of course, is not all. You will also learn to deal with other situations, such as the escape of dangerous chemicals, evacuations, pandemics or to design counter-terrorism measures. Let’s add communication technologies, planning the deployment of forces and resources, or modeling and simulating the development of crises. All this is supported by the knowledge of state defense legislation, psychology, and practical skills so that you can later apply at all levels of crisis management from municipalities, cities, and regions to the state level.
