Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.)

Hochschule Darmstadt Darmstadt · Hesse

About the Program

Plastics are an integral part of our everyday lives: they are found in smartphones, bicycles and shoes, and often fulfil several technical functions at once. Yet, how do plastics differ? How are products developed and manufactured from them? What about sustainability and recycling? And what machines and digital tools are needed? In the six-semester bachelor's programme in Polymer Engineering, students acquire comprehensive basic engineering knowledge in this versatile field. The programme is oriented towards mechanical engineering and process engineering. The first year of study is closely interlinked with the Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics study programmes, so that a change is possible. In projects, students learn to design processes and tools in a practical manner from the very first semester. Many core elective modules, such as 3D Printing, Recycling and Biopolymers, allow students to choose their own specialisations. In addition, students improve their teamwork and language skills. The EUT+ university alliance and established partnerships outside Europe offer a wide range of study abroad opportunities.
