Bachelor’s degree
A graduate of the Bachelor’s degree program in Industrial Engineering possesses cross-disciplinary knowledge in key areas of mechanical engineering, including expertise in technical materials, their manufacturing and processing technologies, the mechanical interaction of machine components and their effects on mechanical elements and systems. The graduate is also knowledgeable in design, technical diagnostics, production, construction and operation of manufacturing machines, systems and equipment, as well as in information and control systems, and the management of socio-technical systems.
From the perspective of the program’s focus, the graduate gains broad knowledge and understanding necessary for the effective management of production units and their processes, particularly in the areas of business management, manufacturing and information technologies, enterprise logistics, product quality, organization of auxiliary and support operations, and their economic interdependencies. The emphasis is on practical application in organizing and managing processes at the level of basic production units (workshops, production plants), including understanding the practical relationships and interconnections between various technical-organizational and development areas of the enterprise.
During the course of study, students develop skills in the use of software applications and are prepared to apply basic methods of industrial engineering in practice. The graduate is capable of solving practical tasks in industrial engineering, organization and management of business processes and systems, with a critical evaluation of their suitability and appropriateness. They can tackle professional tasks, coordinate partial activities, and take responsibility for team results.
The scope and depth of the knowledge and skills acquired through the Bachelor’s program in Industrial Engineering provide a solid foundation for a smooth transition to the second cycle of study (Master’s level), while also enabling immediate employment in the field.

Master’s degree
A graduate of the Master’s degree program in Industrial Engineering possesses deep interdisciplinary knowledge in the areas of design, planning, management, organization, control, and improvement of business processes and systems. This includes understanding the interconnections and relationships among various technical, organizational, and developmental domains, primarily at the middle management level of a production organization.
The graduate is familiar with and understands theories, methods, and procedures used to coordinate and solve complex tasks in areas such as logistics and supply chain management, internal logistics and inventory/material flow optimization, implementation of enterprise information systems, production planning and control, quality management, design of production processes and systems, innovation management, the application of industrial engineering methods across business departments, computer modeling of business processes, project management, and the use of operations research techniques.
The graduate is capable of actively acquiring new knowledge and information, integrating and applying them in ways that contribute to the development of mechanical engineering. They are able to creatively solve both theoretical and practical problems in the field of organization, management, and improvement of business processes and systems. They can analyze, design, plan, and enhance complex technical solutions in general mechanical engineering, with a particular focus on industrial engineering. The graduate is proficient in working with academic literature and in using the latest information resources to acquire knowledge when solving real-world problems.
They possess in-depth expertise in mechanical engineering and industrial engineering, enabling them to coordinate procedures within teams, independently lead projects, and assume responsibility for comprehensive solutions. They can formulate methodologies, evaluate and process results, define solutions, and communicate them effectively with professionals in the field.
The breadth and depth of knowledge and skills acquired through the Master’s study program ensure the graduate’s adaptability in practice and successful application in a wide range of industrial sectors, including potential engagement in research and development or in high-level management roles. Graduates of the Master’s program in Industrial Engineering are also well-prepared to continue their studies at the doctoral level.

Doctoral study
A graduate of the Doctoral study program in Industrial Engineering possesses a systematic, comprehensive, and integrated body of knowledge in the field of industrial engineering, including a strong understanding of its interrelations with other areas of mechanical engineering and related disciplines.
They are prepared to plan and initiate the resolution of complex problems, challenging research and development tasks, including the formulation of goals, tools, and methods for advancement within the field. The graduate has in-depth knowledge of theories, sophisticated methods, and advanced procedures in industrial engineering, including the design, planning, management, and improvement of business processes and systems, work humanization, knowledge management, and the implementation of progressive manufacturing and logistics concepts. They are skilled in the use of supporting information technologies relevant to the discipline. The graduate is capable of actively acquiring new knowledge and information, critically analyzing and reassessing them, and applying both standard and specialized methods of industrial engineering in practice. They are equipped to integrate the potential of advanced industrial engineering into the anticipated directions of industrial development.
The graduate is capable of leading research teams and projects and working systematically toward achieving scientific, developmental, and business goals. They can apply, creatively refine, develop, and generate new theories and research, development, and innovation methodologies within the field. Their scientific training enables them to participate in a broad spectrum of research activities.
They demonstrate independent, critical, and analytical thinking, which they apply in dynamic and evolving contexts. They are able to independently present the results of their research and development to the professional community both in Slovakia and internationally. In doing so, they take into account social, scientific, and ethical considerations in the formulation of research objectives and the interpretation of research findings.
The breadth and depth of knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired during doctoral studies provide a solid foundation for successful application in academia, research institutions, industrial R&D centers, and—following an adaptation period—even in top-level management positions within organizations.
