The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and Technology at TU Berlin focuses on understanding and addressing critical environmental issues. This program examines the engineering and ecological processes related to the development, impact, and transformation of pollutants within the earth, water, and air, as well as the technosphere. It emphasizes the identification, evaluation, prevention, reduction, and remediation of environmental burdens and risks. The curriculum is practical, equipping students with the skills to develop and implement solutions for environmental protection.
The program is modular, combining lectures, tutorials, seminars, and practical projects. Students earn credit points by completing coursework and assessments within each module. The curriculum progresses from foundational principles in mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering to specialized environmental engineering and chemistry. Project work allows students to apply technical solutions to real-world environmental problems, considering social and economic factors. A scientific bachelor's thesis concludes the program.
Graduates are prepared for a wide range of careers in environmental protection and sustainability. The program provides a strong foundation for further academic pursuits.
Interest and basic understanding in mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering are beneficial, especially if advanced courses were taken in school.
While there are no tuition fees, students are required to pay a semester contribution which covers administrative costs and student services, and includes a public transport ticket. This contribution is typically around €320 per semester.
