Aalen University

Master's Programme in Polymer Technology (MS.C.)

Polymer Technology is a unique master programme with courses in Polymer Engineering and Technology. Students of Polymer Technology can gain a high level of engineering knowledge through Aalen University.

The goal of the Polymer Technology master programme is to provide a well-balanced combination of theory and practical laboratory training in the polymer science and technology field.

The scientific educational programme includes Polymer Materials, Polymer Physics, Polymer Testing, Polymer Design and Polymer Processing, Mold Design and CAD/CAM/Simulations lectures and training in laboratories.

The Master programme comprises three semesters.

Two semesters studies target on the polymer technology related subjects, providing the students thorough knowledge of polymers, their physical properties and applications, polymer testing, how to design polymer products and molds, on polymer processing and related techniques as well as on simulation.

One semester is required for the elaboration of the master thesis.

The thesis can be written either at Aalen University, at one of the international academic partners institutions or in cooperation with industry.

About Aalen University of Applied Sciences

From digital networking, health, and e-mobility to renewable energies, photonics or robotics – we care about future technologies.

For many years, Aalen UAS has been one of the most research-extensive universities of applied sciences in Germany. Researcher teams contribute to areas such as IT security and biomedicine for cancer research, study super magnets to extend the service life of lithium-ion batteries in electric cars, work on resource-oriented energy concepts and forward autonomous driving and industry 4.0.

Aalen UAS is constantly strengthening its top position in teaching as well. It ranks first in economics and third in mechanical engineering in Germany (out of 102 universities of applied sciences). With around 6,000 students, Aalen UAS is one of the larger universities of applied sciences in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg.

The former engineering school is now a globally- and practice-oriented university boasting five faculties.

Over 50 Bachelor and Master programmes guarantee scientifically sound and practice-oriented education.

Aalen UAS is located in the East Württemberg, a region that is known for its excellent innovative spirit even beyond its borders. For over more than 50 years, the university has been a personal and reliable partner for its students, professors, staff, the city of Aalen, the region, the economy, associations and more than 100 cooperation partners worldwide.
