The aim of the study program is to develop successful public health veterinary food safety specialists who are able to propose modern ideas in the intersectoral professional space, initiate project activities, create and implement innovations that improve veterinary food safety, identify, control and manage health and food risks; on the basis of applied scientific research, to practically solve public health problems related to the diet of people in risk groups, the organization of meals, and ensuring food safety; form the public opinion of society based on the data of health sciences, work independently and in a team, guided by high moral principles.
Learning outcomes:
. 1. The results of fundamental and applied research on food safety are based on the latest knowledge of studies or practical activities, which are necessary for a food safety public health specialist, implementing the tasks of professional activity and initiating progress in the intersectoral public health space, implementing food safety control and quality management, catering innovations, carrying out and systematizing food safety research and shaping public opinion based on health science data. 2. Special abilities necessary for creating and implementing food safety strengthening and disease prevention programs, improving public health, initiating progress in the modern food safety assurance system by linking global quality management and food production sustainability laws. 3. Social and personal abilities that allow to work ethically and critically assess the risks associated with food, taking into account the nutritional characteristics of different groups of consumers, understanding the consequences of their activities, taking responsibility and leadership in improving food safety control, solving complex tasks independently or with a team, using modern information technology technology and communication tools to provide research-based information to the public.
Activities of teaching and learning:
Summative assessment is used to assess student achievements in subject studies. The study results of all subjects are evaluated by the grade obtained after passing the exam, after accumulating the prescribed part of the cumulative grade (it must be at least 50% of the final grade) or after defending the student's work (project). Results assessment methods: midterm credit, exam, student's independent work (project), bachelor's thesis, test, colloquium, etc.
