Testimonials Dual Training

After completing the End-of-Course Project in Germany with an Erasmus scholarship, I decided to attend the Master’s degree course in Industrial Engineering for two reasons: because it was going to open doors in the professional world and in the work-study programme, and because it provides an economic aid, which would give me the opportunity to get my degree. From then on, and following the guidance of the End-of-Course Project, I completed the End-of-Master’s Project at the Higher Polytechnic School in the research group of Advanced Processes and Material Forming. After this, I was invited to pursue my PhD. Currently, I am taking my PhD on the process of manufacturing semi-solid formed materials with the aid of the companies Sidenor and CIE Automotive.

The practical nature of the subjects gives you a very results-oriented approach, through which teamwork is prioritised. This perspective complements a solid theoretical foundation, contributing to a powerful multidisciplinary preparation to face all engineering challenges. I had the possibility of combining studies with work as a scholarship holder at the same university. It is a highly recommended option, as it comprises an initial contact with real problems and situations. This constitutes a very competent preparation for work life.
