Transfer of technology
and cooperation


Training highly qualified skilled personnel contributes to supporting and developing the competences in the plastics sector.

Transfer of technology and cooperation

The innovative and specialised tertiary education clearly demonstrates the regional and supra-regional orientation of close cooperation between science and economy, above all in the plastics sector.


Hochschule Ansbach [Ansbach University of Applied Sciences]

In the course of studies “Business Administration and Engineering”, Hochschule Ansbach o ers the special focus
“Plastics Engineering” to promote the application-oriented education of junior staff in close cooperation with local companies.

As a result of the practically oriented education, the number of students in the Department of Engineering at
Hochschule Ansbach is continuously rising. This is why a new modular course “Plastics Engineering” is now being
offered in the course of studies “Applied Engineering Sciences” which is designed for students with a stronger focus on technology.

Subjects in the course “Plastics Engineering”:
- Chemistry and physics of polymers
- Tool construction
- Production and preparation of plastics
- Processing of plastics (e.g. injection moulding, extruding)
- Plastic joining and surface techniques
- Polymer mechatronics
- Polymer information systems

Maschinenbauschule [school for mechanical engineering] Ansbach

For more than a hundred years, Maschinenbauschule Ansbach, a group of schools for initial and advanced
vocational training, has educated and trained mechanics and engineers in mechanical engineering.

The future professional career deserves careful consideration. This is why we offer internships providing early insights into practical work and one’s own competences and skills.

Maschinenbauschule Ansbach has a strong reputation as a practically orientated talent bench for engineers which combines traditional mechanical engineering with modern technology and team spirit.

Staatlich anerkannte Fachschule für Kunststofftechnik und Faserverbundtechnologie [stateapproved technical school for plastics technology and fibre composite technology] Weißenburg

Professional training to become a “state-certified plastics engineer” is a further qualifi cation open to applicants
having completed vocational training or possessing several years of professional experience in a relevant sector.

Once they have passed their fi nal state examination, plastics engineers assume a key role in developing, design, planning, preparation, production and manufacturing technology as well as quality assurance and take on leading positions in areas such as staff management, cost-effectiveness and environmentallyfriendly resource management.

Even during their four-year vocational training alongside work, our students impressively demonstrate that the
motto “Not speed but perseverance wins the race” holds true – looking back on more than 20 years of vocational education we can confirm that those who have completed our school are very much in demand in the plastics
industry.

kunststoffcampus bayern

kunststoffcampus bayern was founded in 2015 and comprises a technology centre and a study centre. Both serve for research and development in plastics industry as well as for further professional education and teaching.

The campus is based on an association formed by Hochschule Ansbach and Technische Hochschule Deggendorf in cooperation with the district Landkreis Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen and the city of Weißenburg.

The technology centre’s competences and high-grade equipment are available to regional and supra-regional companies for research projects as well as for joint use of metrological and laboratory procedures and installations.

At present, the main focus is on advancement of production techniques, functionalisation and modification of plastic surfaces, use of plasma technology, climate laboratory for tests at up to 40°C below zero, dynamic movement studies with climate control systems (Stewart hexapod), testing new materials, sustainable plastic technologies, quality techniques, rapid prototyping and design.

The study centre offers two bachelor courses, “Applied Plastics Engineering” and “Strategic Management”, which
can be completed alongside full-time work. Moreover, individual certifi cate degrees can be obtained in modular
study offers or seminars.
