Quality and Safety (QaS)

The study programme Quality and Safety is primarily focused on solving research tasks aimed at improvement in practice. Qualitative and quantitative methods of risk assessment (e.g. FMEA, HAZOP, ETA, FTA, and RCFA) are the basis for solving problems of process control, machines and technologies, major industrial accidents, business continuity and asset protection. Graduates of this field are able to work independently, scientifically and methodically on the innovation of new products, technologies, process improvement, as well as the introduction of preventive and proactive tools for risk-based management systems.
