List and characteristics of the study programme classrooms
To ensure the educational outcomes in the study program, classrooms and laboratories are available on the grounds of the Technical University in Košice (FMMR, UMIK), which have both classical and special technology, devices and instruments, intended for teaching and research, especially in the field of material sciences. For the provision of lectures, computational exercises and seminars, or laboratory exercises, classrooms for a larger number of students are available in the premises of the Institute of Materials and Quality Engineering (PK11). The specialized laboratories of the Institute of Materials and Quality Engineering (UMIK) are used for practical teaching and the implementation of experimental programs of subjects and final theses, the list and equipment of which can be found on the UMIK website: https://umik.fmmr.tuke.sk/laboratoria-a-ucebne/ Classrooms and specialized laboratories of other FMMR institutes are also available for the teaching of selected topics from specialized subjects, the list and equipment of which can be found on the website: https://urt.fmmr.tuke.sk/index.php?hm=ustav&sm=laboratoria&lang=svk https://umet.fmmr.tuke.sk/Home/LabsHaZ https://umet.fmmr.tuke.sk/Home/LabsTTaP https://umet.fmmr.tuke.sk/Home/LabsNM Within the framework of excursions and teaching of selected topics in material science subjects, the laboratories of UMV SAV and UEF SAV in Košice are also used in cooperation with SAV institutes, the list and equipment of which can be found on the website: https://websrv.saske.sk/imr/vedecke-divizie/divizia-kovovych-systemov/vyskumne-oblasti/ https://websrv.saske.sk/uef/oddelenia-a-laboratoria/laboratorium-materialovéj-fyzyky/zamerenie/
