The Bachelor of Science is the first academic degree that already qualifies graduates for a career and releases them into working life. The question now arises as to whether you should go straight into work after your Bachelor’s degree or continue studying.

The Master’s degree programme in Plastics Engineering is the logical continuation of the Bachelor’s degree programme and deepens and expands the knowledge and skills acquired in the Bachelor’s degree. It enables increasing specialisation and is more scientifically and research-oriented than the Bachelor’s degree course. It is also the prerequisite for a doctorate and usually offers better career opportunities after graduation than a pure Bachelor’s degree programme. A Master’s degree is a prerequisite for many positions. The decision as to whether you want to start your career as quickly as possible or gain further qualifications with a Master’s degree must be made on an individual basis.

Research focus and practical relevance determine the Master’s curriculum

Students who opt for the Master’s degree programme can expect an exciting, industry and research-related curriculum. Similar to the Bachelor’s degree, the Master’s degree programme combines the Plastics Technology and Textile Technology fields of study to form the ‘Master’s in Plastics and Textile Technology’. In the Master’s programme, you also choose a specialisation – either Plastics Engineering or Textile Engineering – and thus determine the thematic focus of your studies.
