Introduction
This Master’s degree focuses on a strategic industry for Europe, such as advanced manufacturing. It uses dual study and micro-credentials to train engineers. They will be fully employable from day one of their careers in a competitive global market.
Our DUAL graduates will understand the Green and Digital Transitions from a Manufacturing Engineering perspective. They will gain the skills for leadership roles in industry or research. They will be ready to work together across borders and disciplines.
Graduates will integrate principles of circularity and digitalisation into manufacturing processes. They will promote human-centred approaches and apply transformative technologies.\
This programme produces a new type of graduate who has:
- Studied international case studies;
- Been taught by industry experts from across Europe;
- Participated in global research projects and studied abroad;
- Collaborated internationally using digital technologies; and/or
- Completed an internship in another country
What’s different about dual studies
You will
- Have at least 5 months of work experience or internship in a European company.
- Receive a competitive salary during your studies and gain valuable experience for your future career.
- Have mobility experience in at least 3 European universities through a blended intensive programme in the first semester.

Choose one of the following specialisation tracks:
Track 1 (25 ECTS, MU, Spain): Simulation-driven Innovation in Smart Manufacturing
The scope is to provide a deep understanding of the fundamental principles of advanced materials processing technologies and the material/process/component/cost relationships to achieve innovative products. The combination of advanced processing and materials characterisation techniques with modelling approaches (analytical, numerical…) and data analysis skills (machine learning…) will enable our students to reduce the environmental impact and cost of future manufacturing
Courses track 1:
- SI1. Advanced materials characterisation and inspection technologies (5 ECTS)
- SI2. Next-Gen Metal Forming: From Simulation to Industrial Applications (6 ECTS)
- SI3. Applied simulation to Casting of advanced components of aeronautic parts (3 ECTS)
- SI4. Manufacturing Composites for High-Tech Industries (3 ECTS)
- SI5. Machining (7 ECTS)
Track 2 (25 ECTS, KUT, Poland): Additive Manufacturing Technologies
The field of study is aimed at engineers who perfectly fit into the needs of the Industry 4.0 strategy. The skills gained will be reflected in the work related to the design of new products, new manufacturing technologies and new unconventional applications of incremental technology in industry and everyday life. The target workplaces for Graduates of the specialty are widely understood: Research and Development Departments, research laboratories and manufacturing companies adapting and using additive technologies in manufacturing processes. Graduates have a solid foundation for establishing and running their own company. They can use computer-aided design techniques in creating technological documentation for specific additive manufacturing processes. They have knowledge of reverse engineering in the form of the ability to spatially (3D scanning) digitize physical objects. Know the principles of quality assessment of additively manufactured parts and understand methods of correcting imperfections in shape errors for specific manufacturing methods. Have the ability to implement additive manufacturing technologies in the areas of mechanical, energy and biomedical engineering.
Courses track 2:
- AM1: Materials for Additive Manufacturing (4 ECTS)
- AM2: Additive Manufacturing Technology from Polymers (5 ECTS)
- AM3: Additive Manufacturing Technology from Metals (5 ECTS)
- AM4: Designing for Additive Manufacturing (5 ECTS)
- AM5: Modelling and Simulation of Additive Manufacturing Processes (5 ECTS)
Track 3 (25 ECTS, FHJ; Austria): Smart Production Engineering
The teaching program proceeds with an educational gradation from the definition of a robot to its implementation in an advanced manufacturing situation. The first three modules deal with robotics. The first concerns robot modelling. The second broadens the theme to the design of robotic cells, while the third deals with the enrichment of robotic cells via the use of specific sensors. The last two modules concern the application of robotic cells to the implementation of advanced manufacturing processes: composites and metal additive manufacturing. In the fourth module, the fundamentals of these processes are taught, while the last module teaches their implementation by robots.
Courses track 3:
- SP1. Analytics & Artificial Intelligence (5 ECTS)
- SP2. Production Systems Engineering (5 ECTS)
- SP3. Production Integration (Vertical) (5 ECTS)
- SP4. Digital Production Logistics (5 ECTS)
- SP5. Value & Cost Engineering (5 ECTS)
Track 4 (25 ECTS, ESTIA, France): Robotics for Manufacturing
The first module focuses on understanding the basic principles of additive manufacturing (AM) and composites. The second module explains the specific constraints of robotics associated with AM and composites processes, concluding with a global view of a robotic cell. Finally, the third module is dedicated to the design for manufacturing approach adapted to AM and composites.
Courses track 4:
- RO1. Fundamentals of robotics (5 ECTS)
- RO2. Industrial cells implementations (5 ECTS)
- RO3. Enhanced robotic cells (6 ECTS)
- RO4. Robotics application to advanced processes (4 ECTS)
- RO5. Methods for advanced and robotized processes (4 ECTS)
3rd semester (Winter, 30 ECTS)
- TR9. Research & Innovation (5 ECTS)
- Master’s Thesis (25 ECTS in company)
