The doctoral study program Metrology is aimed to prepare highly qualified graduates who have the prerequisites to fill professional positions in research and development institutions, in organizations of providers of metrological services, institutions belonging to the quality infrastructure. This potential is confirmed with a good employability of students, who graduated the study program Metrology in Slovak. However, since the accreditation of the study program Metrology, delivered in English in a full-time form, no students graduated from it.
A graduate of the study program Metrology in the field of study Mechanical Engineering can be employed as a - conceptual expert at providers of metrological services in regulated and unregulated areas, responsible for introducing the latest scientific knowledge into application practice - strategic, managerial and analytical staff in quality infrastructure institutions, developing comprehensive strategies, concepts and methodologies, - senior manager and specialist of quality assurance departments from all areas of the national economy, responsible for the creation and implementation of comprehensive solutions for quality assurance of metrological and testing activities, - senior researcher focusing on the development of new and the implementation of advanced solutions in the field of metrology and testing, - university teacher resp. researcher at university.
