Key Features
In the program; the Principle of Science of polymers as well as various aspects of Polymer Technology are stressed. Hence university graduates with different backgrounds, after having the basics of Polymer Science and Technology, are believed to be very helpful and most successful in understanding and attacking at the polymers, as well as in R&D improvement studies; for all polymer related studies (i.e. plastics, rubbers, elastomers and fibers). This is proved also by the job positions our graduates are getting: They are very successful in industry.
After successful graduation from the Polymer Science and Technology program from METU Middle East Technical University, MSc or PhD diploma is being granted (on the diploma, it is stated that; it is being granted from the Department of Polymer Science and Technology) without further specifying MSc or PhD in Engineering or Chemistry. Hence, due to the interdisciplinary characteristics of the department, a unique diploma is granted.
The program leading to the number of MSc in "Polymer Science and Technology" consists at least four semesters. Candidates should have a BSc and must obtain the consent of the head of the PST program. Prior to the submission of the PST thesis, students are required to complete the program outlined in the following pages.
