4 reasons to study a master’s degree in industrial engineering for sustainable manufacturing

 The MSc in Industrial Engineering for Sustainable Manufacturing is entirely taught in English, and stands out because of its practical nature, relying on both project- and laboratory-based teaching approaches.   

Students will acquire practical knowledge of the latest technologies for the sustainable production of goods and services, delving into subjects such as additive manufacturing, robotics and simulation. 

The curriculum is designed to encompass a wide range of skills essential for sustainable manufacturing. Students gain proficiency in various tools and techniques crucial for designing and implementing sustainable manufacturing processes, while learning within an interdisciplinary approach that equips you with the ability to tackle complex challenges from diverse angles, a highly coveted skill with employers. 

Students at the University of Udine have the opportunity to put the skills they learn into practice thanks to the institution’s connections with international companies that are based locally.  

The programme features seminars and workshops held by external experts from leading employers, providing students with an opportunity to gain practical exposure to real-world challenges and apply theoretical concepts in a more practical setting. 

Such experiences not only enhance employability but also help students develop critical problem-solving skills and adaptability, which are highly sought after by employers. 

The University of Udine is situated in Udine, a town in north-eastern Italy that’s well-known for its relaxed, student-friendly atmosphere. Residents here benefit from all the attractions of a bigger town or city – pubs, eateries, bars, nightclubs, theatres, gyms etc. - while also getting to live somewhere that’s safe and easy to navigate on foot or by bike. 

The city has a very rich and varied calendar of cultural events: from music concerts to the internationally acclaimed Far East Film Festival in April. As well as being home to countless interesting shops, art galleries and museums, Udine is also ideally located for students hoping to visit nearby sights such as Villa Manin, near Codroipo, where Napoleon once stayed, and the Roman remains at Aquileia.  

If you’re more interested in scenes of natural beauty than sites of ancient history, then you’ll also want to explore the beautiful hills and valleys around Udine and discover locally grown food and wine.  

Whatever your interests, you’re bound to find something in Udine to excite you and make your study abroad experience as rewarding outside of the classroom as it is inside!
