Content and structure
The Production Technology education is a combination of practical and theoretical tools and methods. This combination of professional and practical skills gives you particularly good experience for your future job as a production technologist.
In your first 3 semesters, you receive group teaching at the business academy. There will also be project work here. Teaching is based on real-life examples. You come on company visits and deal with cases from the business world.
The first and second semesters are joint semesters where the basic tools are taught. In the 3rd semester, you choose a specialization where you can immerse yourself even more.
