Graduate profile – competencies • is competent to systematically plan and support the development of a given field, taking into account the widest social, scientific, cultural, legal, ecological and ethical aspects of the sustainable development of a knowledge-based society.
Graduates will be employed in research, in the development and construction of all nuclear facilities, advanced types of nuclear and fusion reactors, nuclear fuel and fuel cycle, in the decommissioning of nuclear facilities from the plant, the management of spent fuel and radioactive waste, including their storage and disposal. They understand the issues of radiation detection, dosimetry and radiation protection, as well as the environmental, economic and , above all, safety aspects of nuclear energy. They will be applied in the application of new scientific knowledge from nuclear technology in the academic sphere and in practice in the Slovak Republic and abroad.

Graduates of the Nuclear Power Engineering programme who have graduated in the last 10 years or so have been employed in the following institutions (the information is not complete and is based on informal tracking of our graduates' further professional growth): - Slovenské elektrárne, a. s.; - VUJE, a. s.; - Framatome Controls s.r.o.; - JAVYS, a. s.; - Jacobs Slovakia, s.r.o.; - Office of Nuclear Supervision of the Slovak Republic; - IAEA Wien (Austria); - NEA Paris (France); - CERN Geneve (Switzerland). We consider it indiscreet and problematic to mention specific names of graduates in terms of protection of their personal data, as well as in terms of protection of interests and disclosure of sensitive information related to the above-mentioned companies.
The only and decisive expression of employers regarding the evaluation of the quality of the study programme is the fact that our graduates are recruited and that our graduates are gradually moving into important key top management positions, including top management and company management. As an example, we can mention VUJE, a.s. Trnava, where our PhD graduates are in management positions. Similarly, in other companies, our graduates were and are in management management positions, e.g. Framatome Controls s.r.o., Jacobs Slovakia, s.r.o., JAVYS, a.s., etc . It must also be said that our graduates continue to maintain contacts with their former trainers in the vast majority of cases during their professional career. This testifies to two important facts, namely : • that they consider their former teachers competent and turn to them to solve the professional problems they encounter in their professional fields; • This provides our workplace with very effective, lively and up-to-date feedback, on the basis of which we can respond very flexibly in real time to dynamically evolving sector-specific requirements for the performance of the profession and continuously take them into account when updating the study program, thus constantly improving its quality. The statements made by employers also include an assessment of the quality of the study programme.A positive opinion on the compliance of the obtained qualification with the requirements of the sector was given to the company: VÚJE, a.s.; Framatome Controls s.r.o.; https://is.stuba.sk/dok_server/slozka.pl?id=228430
