Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) »Safety and Security Engineering«

Only available in German.

The security of systems concerns both potential hazards to humans and the environment as well as possible external influences (accidents, catastrophes, wanton manipulation) which can impair the functionality of the system. For manufacturers and those responsible for such systems, the safety-related proof becomes more and more challenging and the corresponding qualification of the involved personnel more and more important.

Quality control in wood-based material production

Only available in German.

In addition to general normative and material-specific fundamentals for the production and application of wood-based materials, you will learn about comprehensive content on factory production control (WPK) as well as the requirements and methods of detection of emissions and mechanical properties of wood-based materials.

Additive Manufacturing

Only available in German.

Additive manufacturing processes, colloquially referred to as "3-D printing", open up a variety of new possibilities in the design of products and their production. Actively using these new design options for your own products is the key to realizing innovations. This requires specialists who have extensive knowledge of additive technologies.
