Technology and Processing of Plastics and Fiberglass

5. Technical Sciences

As the third level of higher education, the doctoral program in “Plastics and Fiberglass Technology and Processing” offers individualized instruction and experimental work on current scientific and applied research topics. The choice of this program is justified by:

The dynamic development of the related industry in the country and the rapidly growing demand for highly qualified professionals;
The formulation of dissertation topics in the Department of Materials Engineering and Chemical Technology based on real-world problems dictated by specific practical needs;
The opportunity for the results of research activities to be widely published in authoritative specialized journals and presented at prestigious international forums.

Since the program is a third-cycle degree program, applicants must have successfully completed a master’s degree. The program is designed for professionals who wish to develop an innovative approach to solving complex problems in the field of polymer materials.

The training covers the entire cycle, from the assessment of technical requirements and design to the selection of appropriate materials and manufacturing methods for the implementation of specific structural and technological tasks. The focus is on:

Modern, advanced, and environmentally sustainable technologies for processing and producing high-quality engineering products;
Contemporary approaches to the design of products and structural elements made from cutting-edge lightweight and durable materials (plastics and fiberglass);
Enriching and building upon the knowledge and practical skills necessary for innovatively solving technological challenges.

Doctoral students are encouraged to focus their research efforts on promising areas that directly contribute to their professional development after successfully completing their studies at the Technical University of Sofia. Graduates of the program go on to become:

Highly qualified experts capable of solving complex problems in both science and business practice;
Sought-after specialists at Bulgarian research institutes and industrial enterprises;
Competitive professionals with recognized scientific and practical contributions from leading scientific organizations and companies abroad.
