The Master of Science in Environmental Engineering focuses on developing solutions for environmental challenges through the design of systems for environmental protection. This future-oriented program addresses significant environmental issues with specializations in 'Environment', 'Water', 'Energy', and 'Environmental Modelling'. Through interdisciplinary collaboration with faculties like Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics and Physics, and Architecture and Landscape Sciences, the program offers a unique blend of key content from civil and environmental engineering, geodesy, environmental meteorology, mechanical engineering, and environmental and landscape planning. Students can tailor their studies through specialization choices and elective modules, preparing them for specific career paths, including entrepreneurship in environmental fields.
Curriculum
The curriculum is structured over four semesters, with the third semester offering the option for a study abroad or placement. The final semester is primarily dedicated to the Master's thesis. Students choose one of four specialization areas: 'Environment', 'Water', 'Energy', or 'Environmental Modelling'. Depending on the specialization, students will take compulsory and optional modules. The program emphasizes acquiring sound engineering knowledge, understanding scientific foundations for environmental protection systems, and developing software skills for environmental process modeling. Students also learn methods for solving engineering assignments effectively in interdisciplinary contexts and practice presentation and teamwork skills.
