Welding Technologies

Program Overview

The program is organized into six semesters and includes 1,766 hours of supervised training and 28 weeks of industrial internships (equivalent to 930 hours). The internships consist of:

Two “worker” internships of two weeks in semester 1
An eight-week internship in semester 3
A sixteen-week internship in semester 6

The courses are divided into three Teaching Units (UE), structured by semester and composed of several modules:

Fundamental Teaching Unit (UEF): Covers courses related to product design and specialization in welding.
Methodological Teaching Unit (UEM): Focuses on industrialization and welding process management. This unit helps students understand product manufacturing and assembly processes in an industrial environment.
Transversal Teaching Unit (UET): Includes cross-disciplinary and fundamental courses. Additionally, this unit fosters communication skills and organizational abilities in a managerial sense.

Teaching Language : English and french

Advanced Topics

Welding is present in all activities related to the processing of sheet metal, tubes, and profiles, which are found across all sectors of the metallurgical industries (boilermaking and metal structures, aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, oil construction, etc.).
Welding plays a crucial role, not only due to its high volume of activities but also because of the modern technologies it requires, particularly in quality control.
The Algerian industry has a significant need for welding specialists, a field currently lacking in the job market. Establishing specialized training programs in this domain is an absolute necessity. As highlighted in the latest Global Competitiveness Report by the World Economic Forum, the southern Mediterranean region (Algeria and Tunisia) has some of the most competitive economies in Africa, with strong economic growth and a young population eager to enter the workforce. However, achieving this goal is often challenging, as unemployment remains high in these countries.
Career opportunities are numerous and diverse, reflecting a growing demand for skilled professionals at all qualification levels.
