Course Outline

As our resources become scarcer, efficient and environmentally sound management is becoming increasingly important. But how can waste be returned to the recycling cycle? How can we ensure a supply of clean drinking water and the treatment of our wastewater? How can towns and local authorities tackle the challenges of the transport transition, and what measures can be taken to achieve sustainable climate adaptation?

The Environmental Engineering degree programme, leading to a Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.), provides answers to questions such as these. Over seven semesters, it imparts a broad foundation of knowledge in the fields of natural sciences and engineering. The course content focuses in particular on planning and technical issues in the areas of water, circular economy and transport.

More detailed information on the study programme can be found on the website of the Faculty of Civial and Environmental Engineering.

 

Career Prospects

Environmental engineers have excellent career prospects in a sector that is largely unaffected by economic fluctuations. They work at both national and international levels in fields such as:

  • green industry
  • clean water
  • the circular economy
  • climate-friendly cities

Based on the Bachelor's degree, the following Master's programme is possible:

Environmental Engineering - Master of Engineering

Structure

The necessary qualifications and competences for the above-mentioned fields of work are taught in the modules of the Bachelor's programme in Environmental Engineering, for example in courses, project and experimental laboratory work. In the first semesters, scientific and engineering basics are taught, such as biology and hydromechanics. The following semesters serve to deepen students' knowledge in the fields of soil, water, air and renewable energies. A practical phase followed by a final module facilitates the start of the profession. A detailed presentation of the course contents can be found in the module manual (German).

Dual Study Programme

Environmental Engineering (B.Eng.) can also be pursued as a dual study programme. Further information can be found on the website of the faculty.
