Course Description

Course Profile

The MSc programme 'Digital Production for Sustainable Manufacturing' focuses on the sustainable design and development of digital production systems, using advanced 'clean' technologies to deliver so-called 'green' products. Students gain the skills to design new and transform existing production systems, using digitisation and automation of processes and reducing resource and energy consumption, focusing on the principles of a circular economy.

The studies respond to the new challenges of the artificial intelligence and circular economy, respecting environmental principles. Their aim is to understand:

• the interrelationship between sustainable production factors and the effects of their impact on the economy,

• the environmental impact of the use of new and clean production techniques,

• the importance of digitisation and automation of processes in the context of reducing production costs,

• the relationship of local management activities to global supply chains,

• the relationship of technologies used to eco-efficiency and eco-efficient production.

The studies are focused on preparing students:

• to work in an international business environment,

• to develop key managerial competences,

• to develop their own knowledge in the area of advanced solutions in the context of production management,

• for the implementation of green and innovative projects/ undertakings,

• to design green products,

• to implement the objectives of clean production,

• to use digital technologies for monitoring, analysis, simulation and improvement of production processes and systems.

The Faculty's strong connection with the latest technologies and an active research and industrial environment will ensure an appropriate education. In specialised laboratories, the student will be introduced to the latest technologies, such as 3D printing, VR (virtual reality), IIoT (internet of things), AI (artifical intelligence), for example, while making use of a range of advanced simulation and optimisation software and specialised laboratories.

Education Requirements

A candidate applying for admission to the second-cycle studies in the Digital Production for Sustainable Manufacturing programme at the Faculty of Management of AGH University of Krakow should have knowledge and skills that are adequate to the learning outcomes of the first-cycle studies in Managment and Production Engineering. The student should have the ability to perform tasks and solve problems appropriate for the continuous learning process, related to the field of study. The candidate should know English at the B2 level and demonstrate the ability to think independently and creatively use the skills.
