Engineering degree programmes in materials and process technology
Knowledge about materials is one of the key areas of modern science. It is also a precondition for the development of the engineering solutions required to solve the challenges of tomorrow e.g. environmental and climate issues.
Engineers with knowledge of both materials and process technology are in great demand, both in Sweden and elsewhere. In Sweden, at present, a number of specialist degree programmes within these knowledge areas are offered.
Materials engineering programmes are about being able to choose the right materials, develop and manufacture new materials for special applications. Whether you want to work with material properties in, for example, the automotive, electronics or engineering industries, or if you are passionate about environmental issues and sustainable development, there are many opportunities to get an interesting job.
Jernkontoret itself supports certain degree programmes since the graduate engineers, to a large extent, will be amongst the employees of the future within the steel industry.

Engineering preparatory year
Technical base year is a supplementary education for those who want to apply for a civil engineering or higher education engineering program, but who lack the required qualifying courses. The education lasts for one year and mainly includes mathematics, physics and chemistry. The technical base year can be studied at the majority of technical universities.
Some universities also offer a technical base semester for those who only lack a small number of courses.
