Description

This course aims to provide students with the scientific and technical understanding of paper properties, pulping, papermaking and associated operations. Students will be brought into close contact with the industry through the contribution made to the course by lecturers from pulp and paper companies, mill and plant visits, minor thesis projects and attendance at the annual Appita conference.

Outcomes

The course will prepare graduates for a career in the pulp and paper industry, and enhance the performance of those already in the industry, by providing them with a detailed understanding of the properties of paper and paper products, of the science and engineering behind the production of pulp and paper, and of issues and fields related to their manufacture.
