Paper and Printing Technology

The objective of education is to provide students with systematized technical knowledge (theoretical and practical) in fundamental sciences (mathematics, physics and chemistry) and field-specific knowledge in papermaking, paper conversion and printing. The studies provide knowledge of management, law, economics and humanities in consideration of personal development.  The curriculum is designed to train specialists required for the dynamically developing industries: pulp and papermaking, paper conversion and printing  as well as for employment in design offices and self-employment in the area of manufacturing, services and administrative positions within the scope of the papermaking and printing sector. Students acquire competences on the basis of the latest world scientific literature, research conducted at the Institute of Papermaking and Printing of Lodz University of Technology as well as experimental and expert projects performed for the national industry of papermaking, paper conversion and printing. The programme of study 'paper and printing technology' was developed in collaboration with potential future employers: national and international industrial organizations. Programmes of study offered by the leading European universities, e.g. Aalto  University of Technology, developed in line with the EU guidelines (with the so-called Bologna Process),  were carefully considered during the design of the programme of study. The programme is designed so as to maximize the chances of prompt employment.
