About the Program

Make your future a sustainable one. The future of industrial societies depends on the sustainable use of resources. Facing environmental limits, we need to find solutions that help to supply the high demand for energy and raw materials. At the same time, industries have to tackle emissions reduction and the challenges brought about by global climate change. A dynamic environment like this needs individuals with a broad range of skills and knowledge who also have a clear understanding of the scientific and legal facts involved and are able to relate them to the needs of their clients in economy and industry. Labour market trends predict a great future demand for specialists with interdisciplinary knowledge of this calibre. We developed our Environment and Energy course of study to fulfil that need. The programme will provide you with a broad knowledge base in natural sciences and engineering as well as a solid understanding of economics and IT. Our international focus and the technical English language skills you will gain throughout the course further expand your skill set, preparing you for future collaboration with experts in your subject area on a global scale. Career Prospects As a graduate of this interdisciplinary degree programme, you will be highly qualified to coordinate measures aimed at environmental protection and energy efficiency in industry, construction or private households. The evaluation of natural environments, the recommendation of methods for environmental remediation or energy audits might be your fields of work. You can find employment with engineering offices, consulting agencies in the fields of energy and environment, in the construction industry or public services, to name just a few.
