Metallurgical Processes and Systems (MASTER)
The Department of Foundry Production is recruiting students for the second (master’s) level of higher education in the specialty G10 – Metallurgy. Field of knowledge G – Engineering, manufacturing, and construction. Educational program Metallurgical Processes and Systems. Qualification Master of Metallurgy. 90 ECTS credits, duration of study 1 year 4 months
The educational and professional program is aimed at training specialists who design modern technological processes of metallurgical production, equipment, foundry shops, possess methods of quality control of production and technological processes, develop innovative technologies that ensure resource and energy conservation and guarantee environmental protection.
A distinctive feature of the program is its multidisciplinary nature, which is determined by the possibility of applying the acquired basic knowledge and competencies to solve issues of high-quality casting for machine building during wartime and the restoration of machine building and metallurgical production in the post-war period.
Training of researchers for metallurgical production at 8 machine-building enterprises that have to solve production tasks related to the optimization of smelting and out-of-furnace processing technologies according to alloy quality criteria while ensuring energy and resource conservation in technological processes; modeling the functioning of metallurgical systems in foundry shops designed for the production of shaped castings from heterogeneous alloys and alloy grades, finding innovative solutions that allow targeted control of the formation of alloy quality for shaped castings under conditions of poorly controlled or uncontrolled quality of heterogeneous charge in order to ensure the possibility of obtaining a wide range of castings for parts of various functional purposes.
The program includes relevant educational components that develop skills in conducting experimental and industrial research, research competencies, and knowledge of special sections of fundamental and professionally-oriented components, thereby ensuring the formation of high-quality, competitive specialists with initial scientific training. The program involves inviting employers to classroom sessions and organizing internships at industry sites. We’ve got a good relationship with employers for field trips and internships at industry sites, which lets us keep track of what employers are looking for and adjust the educational path accordingly, including taking into account professional preferences. Higher education students have the opportunity to pursue an individual educational trajectory through academic mobility programs.
