27.04.01 Standardization and metrology

The master’s program gives instruction to students wishing to work in the field of standardization and metrological support for a wide range of high-technology products. Students learn the scientific, technological, regulatory and management foundations of standardization and metrology, among them ways to establish the target set of product and component parameters, to define measurement error limits, to select measurement techniques and tools, to plan research and development programs in order to design new measuring instruments and testing methods, and to manage and perform metrological assessment.

Students receive theoretical instruction and practical training in the area of metrological support for science-based technologies. This includes examination of techniques to obtain reliable estimates of measured physical values, to select flawless measurement methods and tools, to examine and test products, and to monitor manufacturing processes and facilities. They are trained to provide regulatory, technical and organizational metrological support for product manufacture, quality control and operation. Students of the program have access to modern laboratories at leading organizations in the field of metrological support for innovative technologies, where they can undergo hands-on training and examine employment prospects.
