Wood Products Technology (Level 4 Applied Secondary Education)
In the Wood Products Technology program, you’ll learn to design and manufacture modern furniture and wood products. This is no longer just about sawing boards—it combines cutting-edge computer software, laser cutting, 3D printing, and true craftsmanship. It’s a four-year journey after middle school, where you’ll gain both a solid secondary education and a highly valued profession. Since the curriculum includes a lot of computer-aided design, 3D modeling, and precision work, this program is an excellent fit for girls.
Duration of study: 240 ECTS credits (4 years) of full-time, on-campus daytime study.
Note: If you are enrolled in the Wood Products Technology program, you are also eligible to apply for the WERMO scholarship.
What exactly do you study and do?
Computer-Aided Design and Engineering: You will learn to create precise drawings of furniture and products, as well as 3D models, using AutoCAD and SolidWorks.
Cutting-Edge Technology and Robots: You’ll learn how to use laser cutting machines, 3D printers, and modern robotics.
Hand Tools and Machines: You will learn to work with wood using both hand tools and modern industrial machines.
Internship: During your studies, you will complete an extensive internship (28 ECTS) under the guidance of experienced mentors.
Specialization Options (Second Year):
