With respect to the actual environmental situation and increasing anthropogenic impacts on environment the continuing ecological education is especially needed. The Radiochemistry and Applied Ecology chair of UrFU successfully provides multilevel education programmes in environmental safety management including bachelor and master educational programmes and additional profesional education. These programmes are based on modular approach that gives the possibility of choice of subspeciality with a glance of requirements of enterprises due to deep fundamental knowledge providing adaptation of bachelors and masters to various fields of activity.

Bachelor specialization «Environmental safety management» is based on the educational programme «Chemical technology». Besides basic modules it also includes specific modules for forming next additional professional competences in environmental protection: dataware of environmental safety (system analysis and decision making, information systems in environmental protection); environmental chemistry (geochemistry, hydrochemistry and chemistry of atmosphere, radioactivity in environment); technological support of environmental safety (environmental quality monitoring, methods of analysis of environmental objects, environmental safety); organizational and juridical support of environmental safety (ecological management and audit, environmental protection management, environmental protection normalization and standardization, ecological assessment). Bachelors educated under this specialization are competent in environmental protection, analysis of environmenal impacts and environmenal quality monitoring, environmental risk assessment and determination of causes of environmental risks and research in the field of environmentally appropriate technologies for prevention and/or minimization of negative effects of anthropogenic and natural impacts on the environment. Application of new methods and approaches, notably system analysis and system approach, for environmental safety providing allows to make studied objects (anthropogenic and environmental systems) more manageable, to ascertain their interactions and potentials, to develop new technologies of nature management.

Matters of environmental protection are important for nuclear fuel cycle enterprises working with radiochemical technologies and for other enterprises that use technologies with potential radioecological impact such as, for example, technologies of mining and processing of raw materials containing natural radionuclides. Master specialization «Environmental safety management of radiochemical technologies» is the logical continuation of our bachelor specialization and provides advanced education in environmental safety and minimization of hazard of enterprises using radiochemical technologies or technologies with radioecological aspects. Its programme includes studying of next modules: technological module (technologies of nuclear fuel cycle, radioisotopes production technology, radiochemical and radioecological aspects in mining and processing enterprises, nanotechnology in atomic energetics and radioecology); environmental protection module (radioecological monitoring, radioactive wastes processing, radiation safety, medicobiological fundamentals of life safety, radiotoxicology); management module (intellectual property management, innovations management, human resource management, sociology and psychology of management).

The realization of this master specialization makes a student competent in management, research and application of modern methods of radioactive wastes processing, innovative radioanalytical methods, radionuclides behaviour modelling in anthropogenic and natural systems, research of environmental protection technologies based on system approach.
