Study programme description:
The first-cycle university study programme in TECHNICAL SAFETY lasts 3 years (6 semesters) with a total of 180 credit points.
Graduates are awarded the titles:
Diplomirani inženir tehniške varnosti (UN) – for male holders
Diplomirana inženirka tehniške varnosti (UN) – for female holders
Abbreviated: dipl.inž.teh.var.(UN)
Programme goals and general competences
The basic goal of the university study programme in Technical Safety is to equip future engineers with the knowledge necessary for strategic integration into safety processes on the basis of risk analysis. The programme enables future engineers to discuss and analyse safety problems prior to the realization of projects, and not as is the existing practice when they are called into action only after the processes have been set up and technical safety engineers can no longer have an essential influence on occupational and fire safety.
General competences:
- Professional knowledge acquired through the study of theoretical and methodological concepts
- Competences for the transfer and application of theoretical knowledge into real-world problem solving, especially by introducing new knowledge and application of scientific methods
- Ability for experimentation and visual presentation of different solution concepts
- Acquired study skills for autonomous study in their professional field
- Understanding of interdependences between technology and design
- Ability in initiating action and autonomous decision making and management of highly demanding tasks
- Ability to communicate with co-workers and other professionals from related disciplines for active cooperation in team work on projects related to safety practice
- Responsibility for applying professional ethical and environment protection standards
- Ability to cooperate in planning new safer processes and designing safer products
- Ability for life-long learning, keeping track of scientific and professional achievements in their field and transfer of analytical findings into practice
- Acquisition of basic knowledge from the field of natural sciences and engineering that makes the core of the programme and is then upgraded by professional knowledge from the field of safety engineering, fire safety and environment protection.
Admission requirements and selection criteria in case of admission restrictions
Admission to the programme Technical Safety is granted to candidates who:
- Completed the Matura exam, or
- Completed the Vocational Matura exam in a secondary school programme (technical and health programmes), and passed one Matura exam from a list of Matura subjects
- Completed high school programme or any other four-year secondary school before June 1, 1995.
Admission is limited to 90 candidates.
Should there be more than 90 candidates, the selection will be based on the following criteria: general results from Matura (60% points) and general learning results from 3rd and 4th years of secondary school (40% points) For candidates who completed high school or any other secondary school programme before June 1 , 1995, the selection will be based on the results of school-leaving exam (20% points), general learning results from the 3rd and 4th years (40% points) and an admission exam from mathematics and physics (40%).
Criteria for recognition of knowledge and skills acquired prior to enrollment in to the programme
The knowledge the candidate has previously acquired through various forms of education may be recognised if it is compatible with the teaching contents of the Technical Safety programme. The recognition of previously acquired knowledge and skills depends on the decision of the Study Commission of FKKT. The applicants should submit a written application and provide certificates and other documents as evidence of successfully acquired knowledge and adequate contents.
The Study Commission will validate previous knowledge against the following criteria:
- adequacy of admission conditions for a particular programme (required education necessary for admission)
- comparability of the scope of education (number of hours per subject)
- adequacy of contents of the subject to be recognized.
Previously acquired education will be recognised if admission conditions for the previous programme were similar to the conditions for admission to Technical Safety Programme, and if at least 75% of the course is identical in scope and contents to the subject to be recognised. If the Commission approves and recognizes previously acquired education, the subject is allocated the same number of ECTS as the subject in the Technical Safety programme.
Course progression requirements - requirements for progression to higher year
Progression to a higher year is possible if the student’s previous year has been certified, i.e. the student obtained the teacher’s signature certifying enrolment and attendance for all subjects in the programme, has done all practical training and fulfilled all other obligations related to the subjects in the particular year. In addition the following progression requirements need to be met:
For progression into the second year, the candidate has to achieve 40 from the total of 60 credit points.
For progression into the third year, the candidate has to pass all the exams from the first year and achieve 40 from the total of 60 credit points of the second year.
The FKKT Study Commission may exceptionally approve progression to a higher year if in the previous year the student has achieved minimum 30 credit points according to ECTS, and if the student can provide justifiable reasons for it . As justifiable reasons are considered the reasons listed in the Statute of the University of Ljubljana.
The student may repeat the year if he/she has achieved 20 credit points from those required for a particular year.
During the course of the studies, the student may repeat the year once or change the study programme due to non- fulfilment of requirements in the previous study programme.

Requirements for completion of studies
To complete the first-cycle of university study, the student has to fulfil all obligations in all subjects of the programme and prepare and successfully defend his/her diploma work according to the Rules on Diploma Work, adopted by the Senate of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, University of Ljubljana.
Transitions between study programmes
- Transition between study programmes in the first-cycle
The programme is not closed for students of other comparable university programmes that is why students who have studied in other university programmes can be admitted into the programme. Transition between study programmes means cessation of student’s education in the study programme he/she had been enrolled in previously and continuation of education in a new study programme. The student who wishes to make the transition to the Technical Safety UN study programme has to submit a written application and provide evidence of fulfilment of obligations in the previous study programme and evidence about the fulfilment of entry conditions for Technical Safety programme. The student is admitted into the year for which he/she fulfils previously set conditions for the programme, and is required to pass all the exams that are specific to the programme. Applications for transition are approved by the Study Commission of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, University of Ljubljana.
- Transitions between professional higher education programmes and first-cycle university programmes
Students of Occupational and Fire Safety professional higher education programme that fulfil the conditions for entry into first-cycle university study programmes can, based on evidence, make the transition to a corresponding year of Technical Safety university study programme. The Study Commission will determine which missing courses need to be taken to qualify for diploma in the new programme.
- Transition between professional higher education programmes before 1994 and first-cycle university programmes
Graduates from professional higher education programme in Occupational and Fire Safety approved before 1994 that have three years of working experience can make the transition into the third year. The Study Commission will determine which missing courses the candidate needs to take before the admission.
- Transitions between professional higher education programmes according to the Vocational and Technical Education Act and first-cycle university programmes
Transition into the second year of first-cycle university study programme is allowed also to graduates from other related higher professional programmes (Vocational and Technical Education Act) if the candidates fulfil the conditions for admission to first-cycle university study programmes. The Study Commission will determine the bridge exams (Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Mechanics and Fundamentals of Occupational and Fire Safety) that the candidate has to pass before admission into the 3rd year.
All approvals for transition between programmes are made by the Study Commission of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology.
Assessment Methods
Student’s performance is verified and assessed for each individual course by knowledge testing. Assessment and testing are carried out in the form of oral and written exams, midterm tests, seminars and projects. Student’s obligations and forms of assessment are defined by the syllabus of each individual subject. A variety of continuous assessment defined in the syllabus may form part of the final grade. Testing and grading procedures are regulated by the Rules on Examinations of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, University of Ljubljana, adopted by the Faculty Senate.
Students are assessed against the grading scale adopted by the Statute of the University of Ljubljana.
