About the field of study

Materials and Technologies field of study focuses on the structure, properties and application of materials. Students in this field are prepared for independent problem solving, including the improvement of manufacturing technologies and functional shaping of materials. Graduates are able to conduct research and make expert assessments of the causes of deterioration and wear of materials. They have skills that boil down to directing the processing of materials and their improvement, managing technological processes and conducting research in scientific and research and development units.  

During their studies, students gain knowledge and skills by completing several projects in different areas of materials engineering, among others:

  • 3D Printing - in the field of materials, as well as the operation of equipment and programs used to prepare models in incremental manufacturing technologies; 
  • Surface Engineering - the manufacture and modification of the surface of materials to achieve the desired performance, the study of the chemical composition, structure and properties of the surface layers of materials used in equipment, machinery and tools used in the engineering, automotive and aerospace industries, among others; 
  • Biomaterials Engineering - design, manufacture, modification, study of the composition and chemical structure and biological properties of materials. Assessment of the safety of use and applicability of materials in biomedical applications. Students will also possess knowledge of the legal basis required for marketing a medical device in the domestic as well as international market. 

The exact list of subjects taught in each semester in the specialty of Surface Engineering can be found on the website

Graduate opinions

Lodz University of Technology taught me independence and responsibility for my decisions. My studies in Materials Engineering are the foundation of my professional career. I learned the concepts around which I work: material science, strength of materials, knowledge of mechanical engineering and construction, knowledge of technological processes.

About you

Materials science skillfully combines beauty with utility, intuition with logic, theory with practice, and the micro-world of the atom with the macro-world of construction. If this is the combination for you, choose a second cycle study in materials engineering. You'll gain competence in material design with special, non-standard structural and operational requirements, as well as design skills in technological processes that shape the required material properties. As a result, you will be ready to undertake creative development work in the field of Materials Engineering and Technology, taking into account the latest developments in the field of Materials Engineering. You will also learn to apply specialized methods for studying the structure and properties of materials, and to analyze and evaluate their functionality.
