About the field of study

Occupational Safety Engineering is a unique inter-faculty major, implemented by four faculties of Lodz University of Technology: Faculty of Process and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Organization and Management, Faculty of Materials Technology and Textile Design, Faculty of Electrical, Electronic, Computer and Control Engineering. 

As part of the study program, students acquire knowledge and skills in the field of occupational risk analysis, design and monitoring of technical working conditions or circumstances of accidents at work. Education in the field of systemic management of occupational safety and health (OSH), and the conduct of training and keeping documentation helps graduates to efficiently prepare modern solutions. Classes are run by specialized scientific and teaching staff who work closely with entrepreneurs, carrying out research and scientific projects for their needs, and by specialists - practitioners from the occupational health and safety industry, representatives of state bodies supervising working conditions (for example, the State Labor Inspectorate, the State Fire Service) and scientific institutes (for example, the Institute of Occupational Medicine, etc.). 

The detailed list of courses taught in each semester can be found on the website.

 

Graduate opinions

A very deliberate process of student internships and engineering thesis writing mainly at workplaces allows students to acquire important professional skills and social competencies. This strong cooperation with business practice during the course of studies results in faster employment after graduation.

Dear high school graduates, at university it is not only important what knowledge your PhDs and professors will give you. The most important thing is to explore, get inspired, seek to understand and make learning your passion. If you can also share this with others, broadening your horizons, then you are truly growing.

About you

Occupational Health and Safety is a set of rules that determine how work is done so that it does not endanger employees. It is extremely important that the work environment is designed in a safe way, which is why companies from many fields are looking for specialists in this field. Compliance with health and safety standards is an obligation in every production plant, both in the construction, manufacturing, medical and logistics industries. If you want to start a career in an industry that is in constant demand on the market, and at the same time earn the title of Senior Occupational Safety and Health Inspector, then this major is the right choice.  

Studying at Lodz University of Technology will provide you with access to the most modern, specialized laboratories, tools and software that, in addition to learning standard skills, will develop an engineering approach to OSH. With the acquired knowledge, you will easily run your own business activity, within the framework of which you will be able to conduct training for employees of different levels in the company, prepare accident documentation, carry out an OHS audit, as well as keep up to date the compliance of the OSH standards of the companies subordinate to you. You will also have the opportunity to gain skills in the field of technical and medical emergency services. During your studies, you can also apply to become certified as an internal auditor of quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety management systems.
