Level:  master academic studies

Upon end of the studies student will receive a title: Master in materials 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 study program Materials Engineering at the master level is intended to educate master engineers to be able to manage production processes, to solve current problems in the production as well to design new materials and new production processes. An expert of this profile perfectly knows properties of materials and processes by which they are produced. Besides, the objective of the program is that a student masters ecological aspects of materials production, as well as knowledge needed for a successful prediction of the impact that these materials and processes might have on the environment, with a particular emphasis on the degradation of materials and possibilities of their recycling.

Graduate engineers of the study program Materials Engineering are competent for the following: - qualification for managing production as well as for the use of wide range of materials and control of their properties not only during production and processing but also during the period of use; - expertise in the fields of ceramic, polymeric, metallic and composite materials,; - capacity to head multidisciplinary teams in industry; - possibility of further education at the level of doctoral program of study both in the specific field of materials engineering and in other related fields.

Graduates in academic study programs of at least 240 ECTS
