Programme description |
The production of aluminium has long traditions in Europe, where one of the world’s leading research and development environment in the field can be found. Significant contributions to advanced reduction cell and metal treatment technology, and their operational basis, have originated from this interdisciplinary research and development environment. The MSc programme in Light Metal Production will qualify engineers for a career in the challenging fields of reduction, carbon and cast house plant operation, and research and technology administration in the area of light metals production. In the two first semesters students complete courses within Heterogeneous Equilibria and Phase Diagrams, Materials Science and Engineering, Applied Thermodynamics, Carbon Materials Technology, Refractories, High Temperature Chem. Proj., Refining and Recycling of Metals, and Electrolysis of Light Metals. In the 3rd semster students are completing an avanced course in Eletrolytic Process (7.5 credits), and a project (22.5 credits). The laster semester consists of a master's thesis (30 credits).
