Description

The importance of measurements is enormous for the economy, society, medical sciences and much more:

  1. 40% of the EU directives involve measurements.
  2. Critical economic, social, medical decisions are based on results of measurements.
  3. Estimated direct annual spending on measurements alone is 80 billion EUR or 1% of the GDP in Europe.

Wrong measurements can have major consequences: direct (loss of profit, death of a patient, failure of equipment, etc.) and indirect (incorrect environment protection measures, inefficient business plans, etc.).

How will this degree develop your potential?

Thorough knowledge and skills in laboratory and technological measurements, methods of testing and analysis, quality systems

High competence work demanded in quality assurance laboratories in various industries, inspection, certification and accreditation agencies

Practical experience gained during the study period through an internship placement with companies
