Overview

Polymeric materials are nowadays employed in a multitude of applications, due to their wide spectrum of chemical, physical and mechanical properties. For this reason, polymeric materials play an important role on the chemical industry and more in general on the global economy. This programme provides a bird’s eye vision about the methods to produce different typologies of polymers and about the processing techniques used to obtain valuable finished products.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
