Description

The course was created with the goal of providing up-to-date technical and scientific knowledge in Polymer Science and Engineering to professionals of plastics and moulding industries, or other industries related to the selection, use, processing and manipulation of polymeric materials. The degree also aims at responding to the training needs of Secondary Education professors (from Physics and Chemistry) in order for them to face the demands of new curricular programmes which include Polymers.

The course includes a scholar part (3 semesters) and a dissertation (which begins in the 3rd semester) on a specific theme (45 ECTS). In each semester, the student may complete up to 30 ECTS.

Access to higher education

This Master degree provides basic training to carry out a course of 3rd cycle (PhD) in the same scientific area, or other areas
