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.
