About the field of study
Materials Engineering is one of the most versatile technical majors, whose graduates will never be in demand, as materials specialists are needed in every field of industry. Studies in the field are run in a modern teaching building, and laboratories equipped with state-of-the-art research equipment allow the first scientific research to be carried out. Students learn the secrets of thermo-chemical processing of materials and learn to weld and shape the characteristics of materials using plastic, laser or plasma machining. They will also learn the secrets of 3D printing, biomaterials for the production of modern medical implants, drug carriers or active surfaces with antibacterial properties. The study program is designed to provide students not only with theoretical knowledge, but also with practical engineering competencies. During their seven semesters of education, they will not only complete a mandatory range of courses that will allow them to acquire the skills they need to enter the workforce, but they will also have the opportunity to choose their future career path, thanks to an offer of elective modules. Materials Engineering is a field of study that pushes the boundaries of the impossible in shaping the world around it.

Competencies you will gain
About you
Scientific progress often requires the right materials to work with. The development of none of the areas of our lives would have been possible if it were not for the subsequent breakthroughs in the manufacture and modification of available raw materials. The reality around us is composed of elements with certain characteristics. Material engineering specialists are responsible for giving them special properties. To become one of them, take up studies at Lodz University of Technology!
The study program was created for those who would like to gain comprehensive knowledge and employment opportunities in many areas of the economy. As a materials engineering student, you will have the opportunity to gain knowledge under the guidance of expert practitioners. The achievements of the professorial staff include work on building an artificial heart or creating protective bioimplants. With the support of professionals, you will acquire the necessary knowledge and skills in the manufacture of materials, from those used in the kitchen to those used in the construction of spacecraft.
