Environmental Engineering

Environmental engineers work at the interface of the environment, technology, and society. Students require a strong interest in mathematical and scientific connections, a desire to solve problems, and the ability to think in a collaborative way. Collaboration with other disciplines requires team spirit and communication skills. The Bachelor's degree program in Environmental Engineering is a modular, on-campus program. The program is divided into compulsory and elective modules. It teaches scientific, mathematical, and engineering fundamentals from the fields of civil engineering, water management, and process engineering, as well as key ecological, economic, and legal competencies. Building on this foundation, students are introduced to the key application areas of environmental engineering. The Bachelor's degree program in Environmental Engineering offers students the opportunity to complete a semester at a foreign university as an alternative to the examination and curriculum. Typical fields of work for environmental engineers include companies in the utilities and waste disposal sector, the construction industry, environmental plant engineering, planning offices, water and soil associations, the public sector (environmental administration), and academia. In addition, the bachelor's degree program in environmental engineering offers a consecutive master's program, which allows for further specialization and in-depth study.
