Apply for Open University studies by using the following links:<ul><li><a href="https://tau-avoin.ilmoittaudu.fi/lobby/?realization=J-otm-caa5fddd-ac54-42ce-916e-47cfb61f11b3_2023-tampere-BBTBTE301" target="_blank">BBT.BTE.301 Biodegradable Polymers, lectures, Tampere</a></li></ul>You can find a link to the Open University Admissions service and application instructions on the <a href="https://www.tuni.fi/en/study-with-us/open-higher-education-studies/open-university/applying-open-university">Applying to Open University studies</a> page.Some of the studies require prior studies. For example, studying intermediate studies may require some completed basic studies. These are described on the Information about studies tab of the study unit under prior requirements.When you have been admitted to the studies, you must enrol separately via the Sisu information system for the implementation of the unit of study and, for example if set, for a practise group of your choice. You will receive instructions on how to do this by e-mail after you have confirmed your acceptance of the study place by paying the required fee.

After completing the course students can define and explain polymerization, structure and degradation mechanisms of biodegradable polymers. Students will be able to compare most common synthetic polymers with natural based biodegradable polymers and analyze their special characteristics compared to other polymers. In addition, they can describe the special requirements of processing and sterilization of biodegradable polymers. Students have learned to compile summaries based on different scientific articles and to work as a group member. Students are able to compare biodegradable polymers and analyze applications based on the material properties.

<h2>Prerequisites</h2>NOTE! A student has to have basic knowledge about polymer science before coming to this course.
