After all, 70 per cent of all innovations today are based on new materials. At the same time, plastics technology requires modern machine and plant engineering in order to produce almost anything from this versatile material &#8211; from mass-produced everyday products to highly specialised solutions for medical technology.<\/p>\n<h3>Shaping the products and materials of the future<\/h3>\n<p>The plastics technology of tomorrow requires sophisticated design and special approaches in order to make optimum use of the material with its specific material behaviour and almost unlimited modification possibilities.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Plastics engineers develop tailored product solutions for all industries and, not least, promote the environmentally friendly and sustainable use of conventional and bioplastics.<\/p>\n<h3>A study program with perspective and future<\/h3>\n<p>Plastics continue to evolve thanks to their special properties and are constantly conquering new areas of application. Students of plastics engineering are cordially invited and encouraged to contribute themselves and their ideas at IKV, and to help shape plastics engineering sustainably.<\/p>\n<p>All information about the study program is also available in the IKV study guide for plastics engineering.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ikv-aachen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Broschuere-Studieninformation-2024.pdf\" download>Study guide plastics engineering<\/a><\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"teasers-block_2ceca3969539c25fc11c45c79f704a4f\" class=\"block-teasers blocksection     selectContent py-base\">\n\t\t<div class=\"theGridWrapper \">\n\t\t<div class=\"theGrid12\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\t<style>\r\t\t#teasercard-5595 { --rand-top: calc(0em * -1); }\r\t<\/style>\n\n<article id='teasercard-5595' class='teasercard  withIcon selectContent col-span-12 sm:col-span-6 lg:col-span-4 lg:-translate-y-[--rand-top] text-sm  '  data-info='ID:5595 \/ biology-book \/  \/ withIcon \/ selectContent'  style='padding-bottom: 0em'  >\n\t<div>\n\t\t<div class='teasercard__icon -translate-x-2xs' >\n\t\t\t<i class='icon icon-ikv-biology-book text-4xl text-blue'><\/i>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class='mb-xs'>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class='teasercard__content'>\n\t\t\t<h1 class='font-bold text-blue  mb-xs max-w-[75%] flex border-b pb-xs flex-min text-sm'>Bachelor programme\n\t\t\t<\/h1>\n\t\t\t<div class=' text-sm leading-snug text-black'>\n\t\t\t\tImportant topics in the Bachelor&#8217;s degree programme in Plastics Technology are\nPlastics and their special material properties, \nprocessing methods, \nmould technology and rubber technology.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class='teasercard__footer mt-4 '>\n\t\t<a href='https:\/\/ikv-aachen.de\/en\/academic-studies\/bachelor-programme\/' class='teasercard__link ikv-btn  text-cyan text-sm block origin-bottom-left'>\n\t\t\t<span class='teasercard__linktext text-cyan'>read more\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\t<style>\r\t\t#teasercard-5612 { --rand-top: calc(0em * -1); }\r\t<\/style>\n\n<article id='teasercard-5612' class='teasercard  withIcon selectContent col-span-12 sm:col-span-6 lg:col-span-4 lg:-translate-y-[--rand-top] text-sm  '  data-info='ID:5612 \/ material-school \/  \/ withIcon \/ selectContent'  style='padding-bottom: 0em'  >\n\t<div>\n\t\t<div class='teasercard__icon -translate-x-2xs' >\n\t\t\t<i class='icon icon-ikv-material-school text-4xl text-blue'><\/i>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class='mb-xs'>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class='teasercard__content'>\n\t\t\t<h1 class='font-bold text-blue  mb-xs max-w-[75%] flex border-b pb-xs flex-min text-sm'>Master programme\n\t\t\t<\/h1>\n\t\t\t<div class=' text-sm leading-snug text-black'>\n\t\t\t\tThe Master&#8217;s degree programme is more scientific and oriented towards current research than the Bachelor&#8217;s degree programme: Design, simulation, quality assurance, as well as control and optimisation of plastics processing.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class='teasercard__footer mt-4 '>\n\t\t<a href='https:\/\/ikv-aachen.de\/en\/academic-studies\/master-programme\/' class='teasercard__link ikv-btn  text-cyan text-sm block origin-bottom-left'>\n\t\t\t<span class='teasercard__linktext text-cyan'>read more\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\t<style>\r\t\t#teasercard-5615 { --rand-top: calc(0em * -1); }\r\t<\/style>\n\n<article id='teasercard-5615' class='teasercard  withIcon selectContent col-span-12 sm:col-span-6 lg:col-span-4 lg:-translate-y-[--rand-top] text-sm  '  data-info='ID:5615 \/ material-co-present \/  \/ withIcon \/ selectContent'  style='padding-bottom: 0em'  >\n\t<div>\n\t\t<div class='teasercard__icon -translate-x-2xs' >\n\t\t\t<i class='icon icon-ikv-material-co-present text-4xl text-blue'><\/i>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class='mb-xs'>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class='teasercard__content'>\n\t\t\t<h1 class='font-bold text-blue  mb-xs max-w-[75%] flex border-b pb-xs flex-min text-sm'>Lecturers &amp; courses\n\t\t\t<\/h1>\n\t\t\t<div class=' text-sm leading-snug text-black'>\n\t\t\t\tAt IKV, professors from the University of Excellence impart their knowledge alongside proven experts from the plastics industry.
