You can study paper?

We attended again the university forum in Weilheim to inform and attract future high school graduates for our course of study. The students were interested and curious about our “Paper booth”. And you can study something like that? Of course, and with a lot of fun. We hope that we could convince one or the other of our exceptional degree programme and that we will see each other again in the corridors of our department from October 2020.

Isar raft trip

Every year, the VPM invites students to join the association’s Isar raft trip. You can enjoy a day on the raft with draught beer, meat loaf, good music and a great atmosphere. At the same time, you have the opportunity to talk to representatives from the paper industry in a relaxed setting and to make contacts. A really great event to look forward to.
