Technological Engineering of Materials and Protection

The purpose of the Doctoral Study Programme Technological Engineering of Materials and Protection is to enable students to solve the most complex scientific research problems in the field of technology of high-energy, propulsion and other materials for defence purposes and protection from weapons of mass destruction in accordance with missions and tasks of the Armed Forces of Serbia and the Ministry of Defence.

The implementation of this study programme contributes to the development of science, critical thinking and education of personnel trained to independently conduct authentic and scientifically relevant research to solve complex problems during various technological processes with explosives, munitions, propellants and materials for defence purposes as well as protection from the weapons of mass destruction.

Upon completion of their studies, students are qualified to work in institutions and companies for the development, testing or production of explosives and munitions, propellants and other materials for defence purposes and to develop new materials, techniques and methods in the field of protection against weapons of mass destruction, contributing to general development of the defence system and society as a whole.

PhDs in technological sciences will be trained to solve complex research, analytical and technological problems during research, development and use of certain means, as well as to conduct a risk assessment for the purpose of safety and protection at work, fire and explosion protection related to the technological process and to solve complex problems related to the protection and remediation of the consequences of CBRN accidents at peace and war, as well as natural disasters.

The doctoral dissertation/PhD thesis is the result of independent research work of a student in a selected narrow scientific field and represents the final part of the study programme which is approached after passing exams and a thorough examination in the narrow field that determines the subject of the doctoral dissertation.
