The degree program provides an overview of the fundamental interrelationships of environmental engineering. Following an engineering education, students deepen their knowledge in the focus areas of waste engineering, urban water management, transportation, and hydraulic engineering and water management. The range of courses is supplemented by extensive selection options.

The program offers students the opportunity to gain detailed knowledge and competent skills in the field of environmental engineering, linking ecological aspects with the economic and practice-oriented tasks of engineering. It is designed to appeal to students who, on the one hand, are interested in civil engineering systems and, on the other hand, want to be actively involved in environmental protection by contributing to sustainable developments in infrastructure and civil engineering. The aim is to prepare students for professional employment in planning, in  administration, in industry and in national and international organizations in the field of environmental engineering. Environmental engineers deal with technical solutions of all  tasks in the environmental field, such as water supply,  wastewater disposal, waste recycling and disposal, soil protection and remediation, traffic, ecological and economic water management, renewable energy production, air pollution control, socio-ecological and socio-economic interrelations, environmentally sound construction, environmental and quality management.

In the course of study, students acquire the competence to understand environmentally relevant procedures, processes, methods and plants, to calculate, design, evaluate, compare and further develop them using scientific methods; to document and communicate this knowledge and the acquired knowledge. The aim is to impart the competence to acquire the above-mentioned understanding independently by means of an exemplary procedure.

General

A degree program consists of modules that are defined in the examination regulations and described in more detail in the module handbook. In terms of content and time, it makes sense to study these modules in a certain order. For each degree program, there is a sample study plan that shows you an ideal typical course. If you study in this way, you will be able to complete your studies in the standard period of study. This is not always possible, so there may be individual deviations from the suggested sequence. When planning, you should bear in mind that not every module is offered in the winter and summer semesters and that some modules necessarily build on each other or have other participation requirements. The student advisor will support you in the individual organization of your studies.
