The Master’s study programme „Rail Vehicles“ in English language is based on long-term experience with Czech study programmes on railway technology. The students are expected to hold a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or similar. The two-year study programme builds on previous general technical education and aims to provide the students with complex knowledge of design, manufacturing, testing, operation and maintenance of rail vehicles.
The study programme includes background courses such as mechanics, electronics and strength of materials. These are followed by courses on rail-related topics and specific technical skills in four main streams – mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, rail technology and rail theory. Diploma theses and projects often deal with practical problems and are assigned and solved in cooperation with our industrial partners. Students can be involved in research activities of the faculty.
Students will leave the school with a Master of Engineering degree in a specialization that is highly demanded by employers. Our graduates can enter careers in industrial companies dealing with manufacturing, operation and testing of rail vehicles; they can work as designers, project managers, maintenance managers, testing specialists, researchers etc. The graduates will also have the opportunity to enrol in a doctoral study programme at the Faculty of Transport Engineering.
