Short description

The course is comprised of 3 semesters, culminating in a degree thesis and a final examination, with successful candidates receiving the Diploma of International Welding Engineer/European Welding Engineer.

The lectures are organized in a hybrid form. Participants have the opportunity to attend the lectures in person. Participants who are unable to travel to Hungary can follow the lectures online. The practical classes will be held in a block format in the form of personal presence (1 week/first semester and 1 week/second semester). The final exam is organized with personal attendance.

A candidate completing the IWE/EWE training under this program is expected to acquire advanced knowledge and critical understanding of welding technology application. He / she shall have advanced competence and skills at a level that is required in the field of welding technology which demonstrate:

  • technology mastery and required innovation,
  • being able to solve high-level complex and unpredictable problems,
  • the ability to manage high complex technical and professional activities or projects related to welding applications,
  • taking responsibility for decision making in unpredictable work or study context,
  • taking responsibility for managing professional development of individuals and groups.

Programme structure:

The aim of the Welding Engineer course is to provide an in-depth professional, scientific and practical knowledge of welding and related processes in the following areas:

  • materials science (materials science and weldability, materials testing),
  • welding processes and equipment,
  • design of welded structures,
  • manufacture and quality assurance of welded structures.

The course curriculum and syllabus fully meet the requirements of the IIW (International Institute of Welding) and EWF (European Welding Federation).

Entrance examination

An online oral admission interview is conducted to primarily evaluate the applicant’s motivation, communication skills, and proficiency in English. In addition, the discussion may include some fundamental questions related to welding technology, materials science, or mechanical engineering, to assess the applicant’s basic professional knowledge relevant to the International Welding Engineer program.

Career prospects

According to the international standards it is a requirement for companies involved in the production of welded structures to employ a welding engineer with an IWE/EWE diploma.

Important information

The University reserves the right not to launch the study programme if there are fewer than ten applicants. In such cases, the tuition fee will be refunded to the applicant.
