Sustainable Production Development
This master’s programme provides you with skills to carry out engineering work and manage improvements in a production system. It prepares you with knowledge regarding flexible and adaptive production systems that can proactively respond to industrial changes. The programme builds knowledge in manufacturing strategies including reconfigurable production systems, production engineering and automation.
The program has a holistic view of production including development of the production system and its interaction with the entire product realization process. The programme focuses on design and development of production systems including an outlook into manufacturing reconfigurability strategies, automation and production engineering. Thereafter, management of production systems is in focus where simulation tools will be introduced for analysis of a production system.
Furthermore, taking a holistic view of the product realization process allows you to understand the importance of integration of organizational functions, persons’ knowledge and competences in order to secure industrialization and production ramp-up to the required volumes, quality and cost of a products.
The applicant must hold the minimum of a bachelor´s degree (i.e the equivalent of 180 ECTS credits at an accredited university) with at least 90 credits in mechanical engineering, industrial engineering and management, civil engineering, or equivalent. The bachelor’s degree should comprise a minimum of 15 credits in mathematics. Proof of English proficiency is required.
After graduation you will be a highly skilled engineer with a sustainable, innovative mindsets for future development of a complex and digitalized industry.
The programme provides a good foundation for working in a wide range of industrial positions or an academic career - nationally or internationally. Possible tasks include production development, production management, and production engineering, project manager, trainee, consultant.
The programme also qualifies you to apply for continued postgraduate studies leading to an academic career.
