Metallurgical technology

In this new millennium the interest in steel production has increased. The fact that it can not be replaced by any other material has attracted interest of metallurgical professionals. The annual world market production of steel has raised from 800 mio tons to 1,500 mio tons in the last eight years, and the trend is still moving upwards.

Following cement, steel takes the second place in world demand for materials. High quality level of steels and other non-ferrous metals and their alloys are crucial for a successful global economy and technological development. With this in mind our  professional bachelor study programme Metallurgical technologies addresses current global needs.

The basic goal is to qualify professionals to integrate in an industrial setting, implement industrial processes, including production control, quality control and attestation of industrial products.

From the historical point of view the methods used in development and control of metallurgical processes and characterisation methods of metal materials have been adopted by other engineering materials. For this reason, the goal of this study programme is to also qualifying professionals to deal with quality control of the majority of engineering materials.

This new programme focuses on acquiring professional knowledge and competences for market demands of innovative, high-technological society, providing also a sound theoretical basis. Graduates can continue education throughout the life-learning process, and acquire new information- communication skills. In all subject there is a s strong emphasis on verifying theoretical knowledge through practical work practising team work and encouraging innovative thinking.
