are awarded engineer degree 4n - -fire protection and official rank of Junior Captain in SFS. The top of the class graduates continue their studies in order to obtain master's degree in fire protection engineering. The remaining graduates may apply for studying at the extramural master studies.

Prospective students applying to civilian daily courses are recruited on the basis of two-step procedurę. The first step is an entrance exam in mathematics and physics after providing necessary documents. The second step is an interview for these candidates who successfully underwent first step of the recruitment process. Civilian daily or extramural courses last eight semesters. After obtaining the engineer degree in fire safety engineering, graduates can continue their education at master daily courses (the top of the class) or at extramural master studies.

After graduating a specialist in fire safety engineering is able:

to analyse yarious fire explosions hazards

to evaluate fire and explosion risks and know the methods of reducing them to design, maintain and inspect fire protection Systems to conduct fire protection training to prepare rescue plans

-    to write safety reports

-    to apply in practice fore protection rules and regulations

The Faculty of Civil Safety Engineering

This faculty educates specialists for govemment and local authorities organs and economic entities in protection of population against effects of natural and man-made disasters.
