Polymer Engineering and Science

About this programme

Expand on your scientific and engineering background by earning a Master's degree in Polymer Engineering and Science (PES). Embark on an exciting career in polymer production, plastics processing, or R&D! The Master's degree program in Polymer Engineering and Science (PES) offered at the Johannes Kepler University Linz (JKU) expands on the curriculum for the JKU's Bachelor's degree program in " Sustainable Plastics Engineering & a Circular Economy ". The program is taught in English. Alongside your in-depth understanding of polymer materials and testing, plastics processing, polymer product engineering, polymer chemistry and chemical engineering, and lightweight construction/structures, you acquire expertise in state-of-the-art science and technology. Students can hone their problem-solving skills and successfully address issues in plastics engineering as well as scientific challenges while also learning how to collaborate and communicate effectively across disciplines in an international industrial or academic environment. Students have the option to study abroad for one semester. You can expect outstanding job prospects both in industry and research! Become a part of the solution!
