The study program. What is it about?

Plastics are everywhere: in cell phones, furniture, cars and tennis rackets.

But how are plastics processed; how are products designed, constructed and manufactured from them and how must machines that produce plastic products be built?

The answers to these questions are provided by the Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) degree course in Plastics Technology. It provides comprehensive basic knowledge of the subject in six semesters.

The course is based on mechanical engineering and process engineering. It therefore differs from courses with a focus on chemistry and chemical engineering.

Language skills and team qualifications are also taught.

Of course, the h_da also offers suitable preliminary courses to prepare students specifically for their studies.

Modules. How is the course structured?

Table of the study program — The CP (credit points) indicated generally correspond to ECTS points (European Credit Transfer System).

The modules of the Bachelor's degree course in Plastics Technology (see diagram below) provide qualifications and skills for these fields of activity. These study units can include lectures, project work or laboratory phases. The degree course in Plastics Engineering (B.Eng.) is accredited by the ASIIN agency. It bears the seal of approval of the Accreditation Council.

The Bachelor's degree qualifies students for a career, but also enables them to transfer to Master's degree courses.
