Level:  master academic studies

Upon end of the studies student will receive a title: Master in metallurgical engineering

The full course workload of the master academic study program has been assigned 60 ECTS credits. The study program comprises active teaching and research work towards master thesis. Active teaching is delivered in the first semester of study and encompasses compulsory and elective courses in the total workload of at least 30 ECTS credits. In the second semester of studies, the work towards master thesis is carried out and is equivalent to a workload of 30 ECTS credits. Master work represents a student's scientific-research work in the field of the study program. The goal is that the students gain experience and competence to conduct scientific research independently. The defense of master thesis is public, and both the thesis and defense are evaluated by the committee composed of the supervisor and at least two members.

The master academic study program Metallurgical Engineering is intended: - to provide educated engineers, possessing developed organizational capabilities, independence and self-initiative in organizing and managing production processes in the field of metallurgy; - to stimulate students of the master study program to creative and logical thinking; - to provide to future master engineers of metallurgy capacities to apply successfully their professional knowledge and specific practical skills gained for solving relevant complex problems; - to establish stronger links between educational institutions and industry, with the aim of creating specialized engineers in the field of metallurgy; - to effectively monitor and adopt new technological achievements in the selected areas of metallurgy.

By completing the master academic study program Metallurgical Engineering the students gain the following knowledge and competences: - improved knowledge, understanding and specific professional skills in the field of development, production, characterization, and application of new, contemporary, as well as construction metallic materials and products; - capacity for the analysis, synthesis and prediction of certain problems in practice, which might have various consequences, as well as for proposing solutions in the field of metallurgy; - knowledge and skills for an independent and team work when solving complex problems; - ability for integrating the gained knowledge and specific practical skills and dexterities, to help in more prompt solving of problems that might arise in the profession; - qualification for efficient monitoring and adoption of new achievements in the field of development, production and application of contemporary, construction metallic materials and products; - capability for applying information technology to automation of production processes of new metallic materials; - skills for presenting the knowledge gained in the field of metallurgy to fellow professionals and broader public; - capability for critical and self-critical thinking and approaches to the profession, with the aim of improving the existing state.
