Polymer Technology

The goal of the English-taught Master Course (MSc) in Polymer Technology is to provide a technology-based polymer engineering education. Find your springboard into a future-oriented field of global importance. Which other engineering material has such rich innovative properties? To be well prepared for a future in plastics technology you need a good basic knowledge of:

• Polymer Physics and Rheology
• Polymer Materials
• Polymer Design and Mould Design
• Polymer Processing
• Polymer Testing
• Computer Aided Engineering and Simulation

As a graduate with a Master of Science in Polymer Technology from Aalen University, you will be an expert in polymer engineering and in demand as a member of staff in industry or scientific research (PhD).
