Key Summary
Introduction
The high-standard, full-time Materials Engineering MSc program provides students with a solid theoretical foundation and focuses on enhancing their engineering skills through the facultyโs strong connections with leading companies.ย This well-regarded program is especially beneficial for future factory or plant and chemical technological engineers, offering in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge in their chosen specialization.
Specializations: polymer engineering and chemical technology engineering.
Materials engineers trained in this program can develop various polymer materials and composites and manage the recycling of these materials.
Program Outcome
The objective is to train engineers who, based on their knowledge in the fundamental sciences dealing with the structure, properties, and behavior of materials (e.g. metals and their alloys, ceramics and silicates, polymers and plastics), are able to design and operate relevant technologies and to perform research and development activities.
Career Opportunities
With this MSc degree in Materials Engineering, you can fill positions all over the world that require highly qualified professionals, like factory/plant engineering, chemical engineering, or self-employed engineer in an enterprise. Thanks to the specializations, our graduated students can find a job in the chemical industry, with the polymer specialization, the main focus of the job could be the development and recycling of polymers. The possible job area with the chemical technological engineering specialization can be found in the field of development of chemical compounds, environmental protection, recycling of waste materials, etc.
Material engineers deal with the structure, properties, and usability of the materials found in our objects of use and high-tech devices around us, examine and classify the materials, and develop and operate innovative technologies.
Our graduates work for successful domestic and international small, medium and large companies, including in the driving sectors of Europe, such as the internationally competitive automotive and chemical industries.
