Materials Science & Engineering

The Group of Materials Engineering is active in teaching and in the research fields of production and processing of materials as well as their application. The education we offer, and our classes for continuing education, is taught at a scientific and application-oriented level. The principal area of research interest of group is directly related to the needs of the local and national metal industries. The group offers the degree of Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Industrial Metallurgy, and the degree of Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Identification and ion of Materials. Undergraduate students must take 22 credits in general courses, 30 credits in basic courses, 84 credits in compulsory courses and 4 credits in elective courses (total 140 credits) for B.Sc. degree. Graduate students must take 24 credits in their required courses, and thesis (6 credits), totally 32 credits to obtain M.Sc. degree.
