International Welding Engineering

Forging the future

Upon completion of this programme, you will be prepared to join a team as an innovative engineer, where you will shape new welding technologies and processes. In addition, as the programme integrates knowledge from different areas of welding production in combination with the International Welding Engineering (IWE) syllabus, you are also eligible for presenting at the examinations of the IWE diploma with the Swedish Welding Commission at an extra cost to register for the IWE certification.

Subjects

• Welding processes and equipment
• Material science and Welding metallurgy
• Fatigue and design of welded component
• Economy and Quality assurance

Research skills

• Proficiency in operating welding machines and understanding their settings.
• Characterization of metals through microstructure analysis.
• Understanding material behavior under various welding conditions.
• Knowledge of economy, productivity, WPS, quality standards, and inspection techniques.
• Knowledge in research methodology.

Prepare to make an impact

The increasing demand for highly skilled professionals in welding engineering has driven the need for specialized education. That’s why University West has developed the master’s in international Welding Engineering.

Are you passionate about making an ecological, economic and social impact in your career? The master’s programme is designed to educate welding professionals with the knowledge and attitudes required to promote companies’ technological transitions to a sustainable industrial and social environment.

Linkage to an internationally-known organisation

The programme is harmonised with the International Welding Engineer (IWE) diploma, an internationally recognised welding education certified by the International Institute of Welding (IIW) through their national organisations. Providing students with a globally recognized qualification for professional welding coordination roles.
