With the proposed doctoral study program, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture of the University of Zagreb and the Faculty of Metallurgy of the University of Zagreb are expecting the establishment of a new doctoral study program that is recognizable and prospective.
At the same time, efforts are being made to strengthen the PhD’s relationship with industry and to increase the number of PhDs in industry, thereby seeking to help the development of a knowledge-based economy.
Industrial Engineering and Management
The postgraduate study in the field of industrial engineering and management is conceived primarily as a continuation of the university undergraduate or graduate study of Industrial Engineering, but also as an opportunity to acquire knowledge from these two important and related fields to all engineers.
In addition to the common and basic courses, specific research topics enables students to focus on the areas of technical logistics, quality assurance and metrology, development and optimization of technological processes, production and maintenance management, project management, strategic and operational management, and optimization methods.
Additional guidance is obtained through courses related to scientific projects, thus introducing candidates to research work.
Through clearly stated areas of research of the proposed fields of study, Ph.D. students are facilitated to identify the areas closest to their research interest, as well as the decision to enroll in a particular course of study.
Elective courses in other fields, as well as the admission of courses from other universities, give doctoral students the opportunity to create a study program according to their own research needs.
Numerous opportunities to collect ECTS credits during their studies encourage PhD students to research, but also reward their mobility and other activities related to gaining the knowledge and experience needed to successfully complete their PhD studies.
