Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering (LM-33)
Our Master's programme specialises mechanical engineers in the science of metallic materials, building upon knowledge gained during the undergraduate degree and providing advanced skills. Through in-depth study of steels, light alloys, and superalloys, students will acquire advanced competencies in microstructural characterisation, manufacturing processes, and heat and surface treatments. Particular emphasis will be placed on metallic coatings and their applications, exploring various deposition techniques and their effects on the surface properties of materials. Upon completion of the programme, engineers will be capable of selecting the most suitable materials for complex applications, optimising manufacturing processes, and resolving issues related to failures and corrosion, contributing to technological innovation across numerous industrial sectors.
