Introduction

The joint Nordic Five Tech master's programme in Polymer Technology equips students with comprehensive tools needed to develop future materials in, for example, advanced health care, energy production, green packaging, bio-based composites and surface coatings. Students study at two Nordic universities and graduate with two degrees. The programme takes full advantage of both universities' strengths and research specialisations.

Polymer Technology

The programme provides a solid base in the chemistry and physics of organic materials and their connection to real-life applications. A broad range of courses and the choice of one of two specialisation tracks allow students to customise their degree and focus on individual areas of particular interest.

Students will learn about the design, synthesis, characterisation, production and development of polymeric materials throughout the programme. The materials covered in the programme include plastics, rubber, composites, paper, wood and other biological materials. Students will be able to tackle challenges pertaining to the choice of raw materials (renewable versus fossil), and the choice of production processes, material combinations and manufacturing methods. Great emphasis is placed on environmental issues, such as environmentally-friendly material production and the development of sustainable materials.

This is a two-year programme (120 ECTS credits) given in English. The first year covers a broad range of topics providing students with in-depth knowledge of the fundamentals of polymer technology and related areas. The curriculum also contains selective courses to prepare students for the second-year study track. Each university provides one specialisation track designed to deepen the students' knowledge in a specific area. The currently offered tracks are:

  • Polymer engineering (Technical University of Denmark)
  • Macromolecular materials (KTH Royal Institute of Technology)

In your application to the programme, you must include a summary sheet in which you indicate your study track and specify which university you will attend in year 1 and year 2.
