Location of Munich University of Applied Sciences
The art of paper manufacturing is as old as our calendar. Even in the age of the Internet, paper is by far the most important information carrier, and it will remain so in the future. These are good prospects for those who commit themselves to the art of paper manufacturing.
New paper machines are bigger, more expensive and even more complex than jumbo jets; they produce paper with a speed at 100 km/h, with a paper width of up to 10 meters and a thickness of only 0.1 mm. Such a machine produces more paper in one minute than you would need to cover two football grounds. The paper industry is making an increasingly greater use of recycled paper as raw material. World-wide, Germany is leading with a recycling rate of over 60 %, and provides the paper industry all over the world with the technology required to produce high-quality newsprint paper from 100 % recycled fibres.
Students will acquire up-to-date knowledge in all relevant areas of paper making and gain deep insight into all major subjects of paper and board production. In addition they may choose between a number of optional subjects according to their personal preferences. Laboratories are well equipped with the latest technology and teaching will take part in small groups. Students will have the chance to produce their own paper on the university paper machine and run coating experiments at up to 2000 m/min. Lab work, research project and master thesis offer unlimited space for creativity.
