Already Have a Bachelor's Degree? Take your knowledge of materials to the next level and join us on our Master’s programme!

How can material and structural failures be prevented? How can the service life of components be extended? How can we develop materials with properties that were unimaginable just a few years ago? And how can advanced technologies help us tackle increasingly demanding engineering challenges?

If these questions interest you and you want to take your existing engineering knowledge further, continue your studies in the Master's programme in Materials Engineering at the Institute of Materials Science and Engineering (IMSE).

During your Master's studies, you will explore materials, their structures, properties and behaviour under demanding conditions in greater depth. You will combine knowledge of materials physics and chemistry, thermodynamics, mechanics and manufacturing technologies, learning how to apply it to complex engineering challenges.

Your studies will cover topics such as degradation processes, failure criteria of materials and structures, service life prediction, surface engineering, additive manufacturing and materials modelling. You will also explore materials designed for specialised applications and their use in the automotive and aerospace industries, medicine, energy and other engineering fields.

Why Continue Your Studies in Materials Engineering?

• Deepen your expertise: Develop advanced knowledge of the relationships between material structure, properties and manufacturing technologies. Learn to understand material behaviour and solve problems arising from their practical applications.
• Discover the technologies of the future: Gain experience with Cold Spray, electron beam technologies and other advanced manufacturing and experimental methods.
• Become part of real research: Take part in research projects, contribute to the development of new materials, analyse component failures and solve engineering challenges in collaboration with experts.
• Find your own area of specialisation: Focus on the field of Materials Engineering that interests you most and that you would like to pursue in your future career.
• Build on your Bachelor's experience: If you are already working on your Bachelor's thesis with us, you can further develop your area of expertise, continue your research topic and build on the experience you have gained.

Master's Theses That Make a Difference

During their Master's studies, our students work on challenging research and engineering topics, with results that find applications in industry and research. The quality of their work is also recognised through various awards.

Examples of award-winning Master's theses from recent years include:

2025 – Ing. Václav Dziubek, Dean’s Award
“Preparation of ceramic filters with controlled porosity by sacrificial particle method and sintering process control method”

Where Can a Master's Degree Take You?

With a Master's degree in Materials Engineering, you will be prepared for specialist positions in research, development and industry. You can pursue careers in areas such as:

• materials selection and characterisation for the development and manufacture of engineering components and structures,
• solving operational problems, investigating accidents and analysing material and structural failures,
• developing and optimising manufacturing technologies and surface treatments,
• developing new materials and improving existing engineering solutions,
• working in specialist and research teams focused on advanced materials and technologies.

A Master's degree also opens the door to PhD studies, independent scientific research and participation in international research projects.

You Don't Have to Be a Graduate of FME BUT!

Our follow-up Master's degree programme in Materials Engineering (N-MTI-P) is not limited to graduates of our own Bachelor's programme. Graduates of other technically oriented Bachelor's programmes, particularly in mechanical engineering, are also welcome to apply. This includes graduates of other universities, including Slovak universities, provided they meet the admission requirements.

If you have completed the Bachelor's programme in Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Brno University of Technology, you can build on your existing knowledge and expand your expertise by specialising in Materials Engineering. And if you are already studying Materials Engineering, you can continue developing the professional focus you established during your Bachelor's studies.

A new field of expertise, new knowledge and new opportunities. Your Master's studies can be the beginning of your professional specialisation and future career.
