Entrance Exam Description
During the selection process we examine the competency of the applicant in two ways:
The faculty decides about the eligibility of the applicant by examining the documents of previous studies (degree, subject, results). This is followed by an entrance exams that evaluate the level of study-language and specialty exam.
The exams can be conducted online. In order to validate the entrant’s person, exams taken remotely are recorded on video, as is the person verification process. The recording is archived for at least five years on University’s grounds and the link to that recording is available in the united base of Ministry of Education of Ukraine.
Program Structure
Year 1
Semester 1
- Advanced Building Materials Science (binders, SCMs, admixtures)
- Concrete & Mortar Technologies (mix design, curing, durability)
- Technology of Precast & Prefabrication (panels, blocks, 3D printing basics)
- Factory Quality Systems & Testing (EN/ISO, DoP, FPC; NDT methods)
- Energy- & Resource-Saving in Production (kilns, curing, waste heat, water reuse)
- Research Methods & Experimental Design (lab protocols, statistics)
Semester 2
- Production Process Engineering (batching, automation, sensors/SCADA)
- Materials Performance & Service Life (LCA basics, EPD preparation)
- Innovative & Composite Materials (polymers, fibers, lightweight systems)
- BIM for Products & Manufacturing (parametric data, digital twins)
- Standards & Certification Practice (CE marking, conformity assessment)
- Industrial Internship / Case Project with a partner plant or lab
Year 2
Semester 3
- Electives (e.g., Additive Manufacturing for Construction; Insulation & Gypsum Lines; Glass/Ceramic Technologies)
- Master’s Research Project (pilot trials, verification testing)
- Master’s Thesis & Defense
- Program edge (why it stands out): it’s production-centric—you learn to engineer how construction materials and components are manufactured (efficiently, to EN/ISO standards, with energy/resource savings), not just design structures.
Overview
The program prepares engineers to design, optimize, and manage technologies for producing construction materials and components.
Students study modern materials science, mix design and modifiers, factory process engineering, quality control and testing, durability and lifecycle assessment, and BIM-supported production planning.
Coursework links directly to industry: labs simulate real plant workflows and standards (EN/ISO), and projects focus on plant modernization, prefabrication, and automated lines.
A strong sustainability track runs through the program—energy- and resource-saving processes, waste minimization, and the reuse of by-products.
Main edge: unlike typical structural design MScs, this program is production-centric—you learn to engineer how building materials and products are made (efficiently, reliably, and sustainably), not just how structures are calculated.
Career Opportunities
Graduates are ready for roles in R&D, process engineering, production management, and technical auditing across cement, concrete, precast, insulation, and composite manufacturers.
