Programme

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.

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.
