The study programme Environmental Engineering is focused on acquiring theoretical knowledge and real practical skills from individual basic disciplines and their use in an interdisciplinary environment that characterizes Environmental Engineering. Emphasis is placed primarily on the measurements of technical quantities characterizing the human environment, the usage of statistical methods, design and modification of products in terms of their impact on human life and the environment of Environmental Engineering, as well as the designing production systems, operations and other engineering works. A significant aspect of the programme is the application of environmental engineering techniques in practice, with further emphasis placed on the whole complex of physical factors, psychoacoustics, visualization of energy field distribution in the indoor and outdoor environment, integrated management systems, major industrial accidents and last but not least, the specification of product quality evaluation methods.

The study programme Industrial Engineering at the Master level is intended for future engineers who will be able to work independently in the field of conceptual design, efficiency improvement and optimization of business processes and systems, as well as in all areas of digitization of production and non-production processes. Students improve the skills acquire at the Bachelor level such as software support design, technical preparation of production, 3D technologies, modelling and simulation of production, logistics processes and systems, as well as ergonomics and digitization. Furthermore, students have the opportunity to work with the latest technologies from the field of reverse engineering, such as 3D scanning and 3D printing, the fields of virtual and mixed reality, as well as digital enterprise and digital twin. Working on semester and Bachelor’s theses is possible in specialized laboratories (the first Testbed 4.0 laboratory in the Slovak Republic) and in companies of industrial practice, with which the Institute of Management, Industrial and Digital Engineering cooperates. The studies include a variety of professional and social (cultural, sports) activities excursions to major companies operating in Slovakia and abroad, domestic and foreign exhibitions, workshops and seminars targeting industrial engineering. Graduates of the Industrial Engineering programme at the Master level can find employment in departments of design, logistics, production, as well as in the middle and top management levels, where it is possible to utilize the potential of creativity and independence in industrial practice task solution. At the moment, Industrial Engineers are highly sought after, especially in the field of digitization of production processes in the area of the ever-developing fourth industrial revolution – Industry 4.0.

Mechatronics primarily integrates the knowledge from the fields of mechanics, electronics, informatics and control. Additionally, it makes it possible to improve the properties of existing products but also the development of completely new products. Mechatronics is already well established in almost all industries, such as automotive industry, industrial automation, robotics, consumer electronics, etc. Mechatronic options attract customers due to their user-friendliness as well as simplicity. A typical example is the automotive industry, e.g. the various assistance systems that increase comfort and safety, etc. This myriad of enhancements is the reason why customers prefer the options provided by mechatronic products. The study programme is focused on the preparation of experts in mechanical and electrical engineering that possess the knowledge like basics of informatics, modelling and simulation, as well as design and implementation of control systems and automated systems for mechanical product research and development.

Mechanical engineering is a widely profiled study programme, the graduate of which acquires comprehensive knowledge in several areas of mechanical engineering that overlap into other industries. The structure of the study programme is given by a balanced combination of technical and natural science subjects focused mainly on design, construction, mechanics, engineering materials, production technologies and production process management, which provides the graduate with a wide range of opportunities in the field. In addition to theoretical knowledge, graduates also gain important practical experience in the field of 3D modelling, computer simulations and expert measurements, which are crucial for performing highly specialized activities typical of R&D.

The graduates of the RaRT study programme will be employed in scientific research, development and design organizations, where they will be solving the problematic of complex automated and robotic systems. They will be able to design, program and animate robotic devices, as well as design and optimize technologies related to the work of robots. Furthermore, they gain the ability of visual system application in collaboration with robotic technology. Once the graduate gains practical management experience, he or she fulfils the necessary prerequisites in becoming a design workplace development team coordinator.

The study programme Technical System Security offers an extensive knowledge of profiling engineering areas, risk assessment of machines and processes, fire and explosion prevention, crisis management and safety management systems. The pillars of this study programme are safety – maintenance – quality – continuity, the basis of which is the so-called “Risk Based Thinking” (RBT). A successful graduation of this engineering study programme creates a possibility of deepening ones knowledge in specific areas by further study at the Doctoral level, primarily through the Quality and Safety study programme.

The study field of Transport Technology and Logistics is widely used in all spheres of the national economy. Material handling is an important and integral part of production processes and service systems.
