Industrial mechanics (VS8)179 credits
Technical study in a vocational study programme
Industrial mechanics is a certified trade. The average duration of study is four years upon completion of basic study in metal trades, a total of six semesters in a school and 60 weeks of workplace training. The objective of the study programme is to prepare students to carry out those tasks that industrial mechanics perform, i.e. construction and maintenance of engines and macinery, cooling and freesing systems and pneumatic controls. The study programme concludes with a journeyman’s examination that provides qualifications to work in the trade and to enter a study programme leading to a master’s craftsman examination.
