Materials Engineering

Imagine being behind the development of materials that form the foundation of rockets, electric cars, or even bridges. As a materials engineer, a researcher in a top laboratory, or a specialist in new alloys and composites, you’ll be shaping the building blocks of the world of tomorrow.

The Materials Engineering program opens the door to a fascinating world of metals, plastics, ceramics, and modern composites. You’ll learn how materials are created, tested, recycled, and improved to withstand pressure, heat, and time. Without quality materials, there would be no technology — and without us, there would be no new materials.

Our laboratories rival the best abroad, ensuring that what you learn can be applied in real life. Even more — international internships, collaboration with industry, and the combination of hard-tech expertise with soft skills (communication, presentation) will prepare you for your dream career.

Program Overview

Materials Engineering lies at the heart of technological progress. It studies the internal structure of materials, their properties, and behaviour — and explores how they can be improved. You’ll discover that every metal, polymer, and ceramic hides its own secrets, and that by changing its structure or composition, you can unlock completely new properties.

What sets this program apart is its comprehensive approach — from production to degradation, from design to final testing, and from laboratory work to performance in operation. You’ll gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience that the industry truly seeks — not just textbook understanding.

Why Study This Field?

Because you can become the creator of things that change the world.

• You’ll understand why materials crack, corrode, or wear — and how to prevent it.
• You’ll learn to design new materials for specific purposes — lighter, stronger, and more sustainable.
• Industrial practice with advanced instruments gives you a competitive edge.
• Thanks to opportunities for international study and research, you can work anywhere in the world.

Practical Focus of the Studies

The program is hands-on from start to finish. In laboratories, you’ll prepare samples, test them, verify properties, compare results with simulations, design technological improvements, and solve potential material defects.

Projects in real industry, internships abroad, and involvement in current research topics will make you not just an observer but a co-creator of innovation.

After graduation, you will be able to:

• select suitable materials for specific applications based on requirements,
• design testing methods for evaluating mechanical, physical, and chemical properties,
• analyze material structures using microscopy and other techniques,
• design technological steps for material production and treatment,
• identify causes of defects or degradation and propose corrective actions,
• actively participate in production management or quality control in material manufacturing.

In addition to technical expertise, you’ll gain presentation skills, teamwork and organizational abilities.

After completing your studies, you can find employment in:

• metallurgy and metal industries,
• mechanical and automotive engineering companies,
• research and development of new materials,
• laboratories for material testing and diagnostics,
• raw material processing or recycling facilities.

You can also continue with a Master’s degree in Metallurgical Engineering or through a Double Degree program at the prestigious Yokohama National University in Japan.
