| Profile of the Programme |
|---|
| The Master's Study Programme Metallurgical Engineering covers in detail the problems associated with the production, casting and processing of iron and steel, including their forming, and the forming of non-ferrous metals. The Programme also covers thermal processes associated with the aforementioned problems, including their impact on the environment. Three specialized departments provide educational and research activities in this study programme: Department of Metallurgy and Foundry, Department of Materials Forming and Department of Thermal Engineering. |
| Key Learning Outcomes |

| General competencies: |
|---|
| A graduate of a Master's Study Programme Metallurgical Engineering is able to make independent and responsible decisions based on a general assignment. Graduates are able to communicate clearly and convincingly to both the professional and the general public regarding the nature of an issue and their independent opinions as how to solve them in their field of study. Graduates are able to use their professional knowledge and skills in at least one foreign language. A graduate is eligible, following practise in a given specific technological system, to manage technologies in his/her study branch. |
| Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples |
|---|
| Graduates of a Master's study programme Metallurgical Engineering find diverse opportunities in metallurgical plants in the ranks of engineers and managers of working departments, sections and specialized laboratories, including the institutions connected with the technology from their field of study. Graduates may work as production engineers in the plant, their knowledge is broader than just from the basic area of their study branch. They may continue in the same or a related study branch in the Ph.D. study. |
