Course Highlights
Part of achieving a sustainable society is to consume sustainable products. The sustainability of a product can be evaluated not only from how we use it, but also how it is made and from what materials or material combinations it is made. Focusing on selected material and the manufacturing process, we can design manufacturing system being of resource efficient, providing good working environments, and using the correct technology suitable for the value creation. The programme combines production and materials engineering with a focus on sustainable production, digitalised production, production automation, global production and the global marketplace. The programme offers the opportunity to specialise in a chosen field of production engineering and has a strong international orientation.
The programme provides students with the knowledge, skills and vision required to solve engineering challenges in the manufacturing process, industrial automation and product development, preparing them to take on leadership roles in globally competitive manufacturing industries. Our courses, seminars, workshops and projects are specifically designed for the student and combine solid theoretical knowledge with hands-on skills. It takes advantage of the opportunities available in a multinational group of students, increasing their competencies in intercultural and global management. The graduating students can analyse, evaluate and optimise complex manufacturing processes and production systems involved in the product realisation.
The need for personnel with specialist knowledge in the area of production and material engineering is widely recognised by many industries and government agencies. According to the Bruegel Blueprint, we will experience stable growth of employment opportunities in industrial production and related fields from 2010 to 2030 in the EU, North America and in East Asia. The increasing demand for production engineers is driven by competitive pressure, advanced technology and development of new materials, which force industrial companies to improve and optimise the existing production technologies in terms of cost efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Students in production and material engineering will find employment in diverse functional areas all around the world, such as product design, production engineering, industrial automation, production maintenance, materials engineering, production management and sales and operations planning.

Study Gaps
For applicants with an academic or professional gap of up to 5 years, admission is generally considered acceptable. If the gap exceeds this period, applications may still be successful but will typically be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
To strengthen your profile, it is important to:
- Provide a clear explanation of how you spent the gap period (e.g., employment, further learning, personal responsibilities).
- Emphasize the skills and experiences you developed during this time that are relevant to the program.
- Demonstrate that your academic qualifications continue to meet the course entry requirements.
