The present article deals with the education on polymer science and technology in Korea. It starts first in Middle Schools with introduction of plastics as an industrial material and their classification into thermoplastics and thermosets. Korean university‐level polymer educations are conducted in 17 universities having separate polymer departments as well as in those without polymer departments. In the former intensive education on polymers is conducted and in the latter various polymer courses are independently offered in various departments, merely as electives.
