Applied Polymer Engineering, B.Eng.
The aim of the Applied Polymer Engineering degree program is to train independent and responsible engineers who intelligently use the technical potential of plastics and elastomers and use them to shape a sustainable future.
With a mixture of theoretical lectures and in-depth practical exercises on modern equipment and machines, students gain solid, comprehensive knowledge that enables them to work in any sub-area of plastics and/or elastomer technology - depending on their personal interests.
The TWIN Applied Polymer Engineering/Plastics and Elastomer Technology degree program enables you to complete your studies in both German and English. If you complete all the required achievements of a TWIN program, you will receive a TWIN certificate at the end of your studies, which certifies that you have completed your studies bilingually and are therefore ideally trained for a successful career in the German and international job market.

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2German up to C1 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application via uni-assist until 15.07uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 5Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
