Materials Science Engineering (BA)

What is the program all about?

The program provides extensive knowledge about various materials and their related processes. Gradually, your basic knowledge of materials will become very advanced. You will be introduced to new and innovative materials, such as those that can make textiles last longer and adapt to body temperature.

Each semester has a common theme that highlights different perspectives in the beautiful world of materials. You will get an idea of ​​how modern processing technologies can help optimize techniques, product design, innovation, business development, financial considerations and consideration of production and supply chain in manufacturing companies.

Personal opinion and practical experience

I already develop products and constantly use the skills and knowledge I acquired during my education. This allows me to make the best decision for my current task. When the customer has very specific requirements, it is not a problem for me to make the necessary calculations and make adjustments to create exactly what the they want as a final product. The awesome thing is that during my education at VIA I did exactly what I had to in order to develop my skills to a great extent. I am satisfied with the education, because the emphasis is on practice – even while you are at university you get ready for the situations and the challenges you face in the future when you work for a company.
