Production and Materials Engineering Lund University

Overview

Key features

Our courses, seminars, workshops, and projects are specifically designed for the student and combine solid theoretical knowledge with hands-on skills. After the programme, the students will be able to analyse, evaluate, and optimise complex manufacturing processes and production system involved in the product realisation. 

The Production and Materials Engineering programme from Lund University combines production and materials engineering with a focus on sustainable production, digitalized production, production automation, global production, and global marketplace. The programme also offers the opportunity to specialise in a chosen field of production engineering and has a strong international orientation. It takes advantage of the opportunities available in a multi-national group of students, increasing their competencies in intercultural and global management. 

Career prospects 

The need for personnel with specialist knowledge and skills in the area of production and material engineering is widely recognised by many industries and government agencies. According to the Bruegel Blueprint, we will experience stable growth of employment opportunities in industrial production and closely related fields from 2010 to 2030 in EU, North America, and in the Far East. 

Well-trained students in production and material engineering have numerous career opportunities. They will be able to find employment in diverse functional areas all around the world, such as product design, production engineering, industrial automation, production maintenance, materials engineering, production management and sales, and operations planning. Graduates from the programme will have plenty of exciting career options and can expect success in the job market.
