Study program started in 2018 and currently there are no graduates of the study program in praxis to this time yet. Doctoral study program Technologies of processing and tools for polymer materials processing is double degree study program, which originated from accredited study program Technology of polymer materials of STU in Bratislava and study program Tools and processes of University of Tomas Bata University in Zlín. Study program has interdisciplinary character and connects two spheres – Technology of polymer materials and Tools and equipments of polymer processing. Graduates of the program Technology of polymer materials in positions of leading workers in research sphere - (Ing. Štefan Boháček, PhD., director of VUPC Bratislava, Ing. Dana Rástočná Illová, PhD., director of VÚTCH-CHEMITEX spol. s r.o. Žilina), in leading positions of production and development (Ing. Henrich Krump, PhD., production-technical director of BizLink Technology Slovakia s.r.o. Trenčianska Teplá).
