    Subject: Risk Management
    Form of study: full-time
    Subjetc´s goals: Risk management is a highly interdisciplinary subject implemented in almost all the areas of social activities. The content of the course is aimed at presenting general and partially also special method of identifying and analyzing the hazards (threats) and threatened assets, their assessment, risk estimate with focus on qualitative and semiquantitative assessment, including the procedures of determining the risk acceptability under the conditions of uncertainty and incomplete information. Then the principles, tools and measures are specified, including the principles of their proposal and selection aimed at risk prevention, minimization and efficient operational control. During seminars the general theoretical knowledge is applied in the form of examples to risk management at garrisons, during the training of troops and their missions in order to provide the armed forces with adequate protection in compliance with STANAG and AJP. The secondary aim of the subject is for the graduates to acquire an alternative education and thus be employable in the civil sector after they finish their military careers, which is in compliance with the current tendencies and requirements. Therefore the theoretical preparation and mainly the case studies are partially aimed also at assessing the non-carcinogenic and genotoxic health risks, including the selected technical, natural, economic, transport and environmental equivalents.
