• All courses are taught by using blended learning solutions (face-to- face + e-learning) which makes the learning process more flexible
• Students have the opportunity to visit different wood-, plastic, and furniture products manufacturing companies, so they are getting familiar with production
• Three hands-on scientific research or industrial projects develop students’ skills and provide a smooth transition from university studies to a professional career

Curriculum Outline (120 ECTS)

• General studies – cover courses about project planning, entrepreneurship and management.
• Core studies – include courses about materials' testing, structure of wood, plastic, textile and composite materials, CAD/CAM technologies in furniture, plastics and garment industry, etc.

Future Career

The programme gives students vocational and professional preparation for working in the international engineering industry as a designer/constructor, specialist, industrial engineer or middle manager. This curriculum gives valuable knowledge and the practical experience necessary to work with customised furniture projects (hotels, restaurants, public sector buildings, cruise ships) or material selection and technology development for plastic products manufacturing. Skills in CAD/CAM engineering work in connection with knowledge about the technological properties of wood-, laminates, plywood, chipboard, medium density fibreboard, plastics, metals, leather, textiles and composite materials that might come in handy for different professions.
