The Technological Institute of Plastics (AIMPLAS), in collaboration with the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), is preparing to inaugurate the tenth edition of its Master of Lifelong Training in Technology of Polymeric Materials and Composites (MTMPC). This initiative, which will begin in September of this year, marks a milestone by offering scholarships of 100% of the tuition cost to all students, thanks to the support of the AIMPLAS Chair at the UPV.
AIMPLAS' commitment to the training of highly trained professionals in the field of polymeric and composite materials is evident in this postgraduate program. With a duration that extends until June 2025, the Master provides comprehensive training in processing technologies, property modification for the design of new materials and recycling options. This not only strengthens the competitiveness of companies, but also drives innovation and sustainability in the plastics sector.
More than 70% of Graduates Find Employment in Companies in the Sector
One of the outstanding characteristics of this Master is its high employability rate. More than 70% of graduates find employment in companies in the sector, which underlines the relevance and demand for trained professionals in this field. This connection with the labor market is further facilitated through the AIMPLAS Job Board, where students can access employment opportunities and receive assistance for their job placement.
It is important to note that the program is aimed at both recent graduates in science and engineering areas and professionals with equivalent experience. This diversity of profiles enriches the learning environment, encouraging the exchange of knowledge and experiences among participants.
The practical approach of the Master is another aspect that distinguishes it. With 875 hours of practical training in companies and 490 teaching hours, students have the opportunity to apply theoretical concepts in real work environments. This combination of theory and practice not only consolidates the knowledge acquired, but also provides valuable experience that is highly valued by employers.
Commitment to Accessibility and Equity in Higher Education
In addition to the academic component, the Master also offers special discounts for various groups, such as UPV students, staff of companies associated with AIMPLAS and members of professional associations with agreements with AIMPLAS. This reflects the institution's commitment to accessibility and equity in higher education.
The initiative of the AIMPLAS Chair of the UPV to grant scholarships for 100% of the tuition cost for this tenth edition is a significant step forward. It not only demonstrates AIMPLAS' commitment to training highly qualified professionals, but also paves the way for more people to access this high-level training, thus contributing to the sustainable development of the polymeric materials and composites sector.
In line with its commitment to Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations, AIMPLAS not only offers comprehensive solutions to companies in the plastics sector, but also promotes sustainability in all its activities. From R&D&I projects to training and technical advice services, AIMPLAS seeks to promote innovation and sustainability in the sector, thus contributing to a more sustainable future for all.
In summary, the AIMPLAS and UPV Master's Degree on Polymeric Materials and Composites represents a unique opportunity for those seeking high-quality training in a field that is constantly evolving. With its practical approach, its connection to the labor market and its commitment to sustainability, this program is prepared to continue being a reference in the training of professionals in the field of polymeric and composite materials.
