EQF 7
Second level

The qualification holder will be able to:

(general competences)

  • effectively and creatively address complex R&D problems and project/applied tasks in the wider field of mechanical engineering, and participate in interdisciplinary integration;
  • address the most complex development tasks autonomously and/or as part of a group;

(subject-specific competences)

  • build on and apply basic mechanical engineering knowledge and implement it in technical development contexts;
  • demonstrate mastery of the basic theoretical and applied knowledge essential for mastery of the technical field of mechanical engineering;
  • demonstrate broad competences in the field of mechanical engineering such as to enable further study in a doctoral programme;
  • carry out physical, mathematical and numerical modelling of problems with a developed capacity for critical analysis of results;
  • autonomously acquire new knowledge and skills;
  • autonomously carry out complex research, development, engineering and technical organisational work and creatively address individual tasks in the field of mechanical engineering;
  • seek optimal solutions on the basis of analysis and synthesis.

Students' knowledge is assessed by means of practical exercises and seminar papers, and also via products, projects, performances, services, etc. and by examinations. Examination performance is scored as follows: 10 (excellent); 9 (very good: above-average knowledge but with some mistakes); 8 (very good: solid results); 7 (good); 6 (adequate: knowledge satisfies minimum criteria); 5–1 (inadequate). In order to pass an examination, a candidate must achieve a grade between adequate (6) and excellent (10).

In order to progress to the second year of the second-cycle master's programme in Mechanical Engineering – Research and Development Programme, students must have completed course units totalling at least 48 ECTS credits.

Third-cycle doctoral study programmes (SQF level 10)

In order to complete the programme, students must complete all course units in all subjects in which they have enrolled and write and defend a master's thesis.
