RWTH Aachen University offers numerous advantages that make the plastics engineering course particularly attractive. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Scholarly practice by industry experts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At IKV, professors from the University of Excellence impart their knowledge together with proven experts from research and industry. Students acquire specific know-how in lectures and practical exercises and discuss current issues with experts. The close integration of teaching, research and industry enables students not only to benefit academically, but also to gain valuable practical experience during their studies. This paves the way for a direct career start. In addition to Prof. Christian Hopmann, other lecturers work at IKV: Heads of department at IKV give lectures on their specialist areas, and the range of courses is also supplemented by representatives from leading industrial companies to cover many topics of practical relevance. As lecturers, they use their professional experience and in-depth knowledge to make a significant contribution to comprehensive training at IKV that is geared towards current developments.   <\/p>\n

one of the popular excursions that IKV organises in collaboration with the companies of the IKV Sponsors&#8217; Association. <i>DF.Fotografie<\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Every year, IKV organizes several excursions to companies from different areas of plastics technology. The largest event of this kind is the annual &#8220;Whitsun excursion&#8221;. It takes place during the RWTH&#8217;s excursion week (always in Whitsun week) and lasts four days. 30 students travel together with IKV employees to various companies to get to know products and production facilities as well as the areas of responsibility and career opportunities for plastics engineers. They will visit raw material manufacturers as well as plastics processing companies and machine manufacturers, giving them an insight into the three main fields of activity for plastics engineers.    <\/p>\n<h3>Lecture-accompanying excursions<\/h3>\n<p>In addition, IKV offers further one-day excursions to selected companies every year as part of various lectures. For example, renowned injection mold manufacturers are visited as part of the lecture &#8220;Tools for plastics processing I&#8221;, allowing students to experience excellent operational practice directly on site. Students have the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts, see the latest technologies and gain insights into the production processes. These excursions enable students to see the theoretical knowledge they have learned in lectures in practice and get to know the working environments in which they could later work.   <\/p>\n<h3>Trade fair visits<\/h3>\n<p>The IKV excursion program also includes visits to trade fairs. There is a free excursion to the world&#8217;s leading trade fair for the plastics industry &#8211; the &#8220;K&#8221;. This takes place every three years in D\u00fcsseldorf and is the most important international trade fair for plastics and rubber. On the K excursion, the impressive trade fair world is experienced and a comprehensive overview of the plastics industry is offered. IKV organizes a bus transfer to the joint visit to K and offers a guided tour of particularly interesting exhibitors. IKV itself will also be present at the trade fair with a large stand and a production injection molding machine. A visit to the K is definitely worthwhile. All excursions are announced in the lectures and on the IKV website. Registration takes place at the student support office or directly in the respective lectures.      <\/p>\n    <article itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" class=\" border-t border-green border-dotted pt-base mt-base\">\n                <h2 itemprop='name' class=\"font-bold\">\n             IKV-Studienbetreuung        <\/h2>\n                    <p itemprop='jobTitle' class=\"\">\n                Study counselling team            <\/p>\n                            <div>\n                <h3 class=\"mt-2xs\">Kontakt:<\/h3>\n                <p>\n                    <span itemprop=\"telephone\">+49 241 80-93814<\/span><br>\n                <\/p>\n                <a href=\"mailto:studienbetreuung@ikv.rwth-aachen.de\" itemprop=\"email\">studienbetreuung@ikv.rwth-aachen.de<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n                <ul class=\"flex gap-xs mt-xs\">\n            <li>\n                    <a data-con-tap href=\"tel:+49 241 80-93814\" class=\"text-[1.5em] w-[1.5em] h-[1.5em] flex justify-center  no-underline relative items-center text-white hover:scale-110 transform transition-all duration-200 ease-in-out bg-green   hover:bg-blue  rounded-full   \"  data-content='+49 241 80-93814'  data-content-type='phone'  data-copy='The number has been copied to your device clipboard.'  target=\"_self\">\n                    <span class='material-symbols-outlined -mt-2'> phone <\/span>\n                    <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li>\n                    <a data-con-tap href=\"mailto:studienbetreuung@ikv.rwth-aachen.de\" class=\"text-[1.5em] w-[1.5em] h-[1.5em] flex justify-center  no-underline relative items-center text-white hover:scale-110 transform transition-all duration-200 ease-in-out bg-green   hover:bg-blue  rounded-full   \"  data-content='studienbetreuung@ikv.rwth-aachen.de'  data-content-type='mail'  target=\"_self\">\n                    <span class='material-symbols-outlined -mt-2'> mail <\/span>\n                    <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n                        <li>\n                    <a data-con-tap href=\"\/vcard\/?id=2019\" class=\"text-[1.5em] w-[1.5em] h-[1.5em] flex justify-center  no-underline relative items-center text-white hover:scale-110 transform transition-all duration-200 ease-in-out bg-green   hover:bg-blue  rounded-full   \"  data-content='\/vcard\/?id=2019'  download  target=\"_self\">\n                    <span class='material-symbols-outlined -mt-2'> download <\/span>\n                    <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n    <\/article>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n    <section id=\"headline-block_f9ded4dd6c564c8dbe13b7fd2d48d7af\" class=\"block-headline   mb-16\">\n        <div class=\"theGridWrapper hyphens-auto\">\n            <div class=\"theGrid12\">\n                <div class=\" grid grid-cols-11 col-span-11 md:grid-cols-9 md:col-span-9 bg-gradient-to-r from-70% from-blue     bg-green before:block before:content-['\\00A0'] before:absolute before:h-full before:border-l-[1px] before:border-green before:scale-150 \">\n                    <div class=\" col-span-8 col-start-2  pr-8 py-4 ikv-condensed tracking-wider\">\n                        <h2 class=\"text-white font-semibold text-xl  md:text-2xl leading-tight\">\n                            Impressions of the IKV student excursions                          <\/h2>\n                                                    <h3 class=\"text-white  font-light font-serif text-l  md:text-1xl\">\n                                2023 &amp;
