My future speciality. Ecology , Environment Protection and Sustainable Nature Use

I am a second-year student of the National University for Food Technologies. I study at the department of ecology, environmental protection and sustainable nature use. My future speciality is ecology and environmental protection. The course of training of specialist in ecology takes 5 years of studying. The senior-year students are taught disciplines connected with their future qualification. These disciplines are: geology, meteorology, hydrology, soil science, general ecology, environmental impact assessment, environmental law, food production, environmental biotechnology, environmental monitoring, modeling and forecasting of the environment, etc.

Future ecologists should know well how to provide environmental protection and ensure environmental management. They are responsible for the protection of natural ecosystems from anthropogenic and technological influences. A contemporary specialist in ecology should also have a good command of a foreign language to use information in foreign languages from special sources for his future career, to discuss professional problems with his colleagues from foreign countries, etc.

On graduating from the university we’ll be able to work in various sectors of the economy: in the Ukrainian Environmental League, and numerous food enterprises, firms of environmental profile, in research institutions and educational institutions, in the public administration (Ministry of Ecology and Environment Protection, the State Department of Food, State Department of Ecology and Natural Resources in Urban and Regional Sanitary and Epidemiological Stations).

I like my future qualification because it’s very interesting, useful for the national economy development of our country. I think the increasing quality requirements for domestic food production and ecological environment in the production of food and considering the need for active output of domestic producers into international markets, the realization of a qualified environmental control in the food processing industry of Ukraine, etc. – all these problems are certain to be very topical and prospective for the development of up-to-date production.
