Environmental Engineering

Master of Engineering (M.Eng.)

About the Program

The efficient and careful use of resources is becoming increasingly important. The aim is to reuse raw materials as often as possible, thus keeping them in the material cycle for a long time and finally to use their energetic potential, e.g. through combustion or fermentation. Environmental engineers take this into account when planning, constructing and operating recycling, biogas or sewage treatment plants and other environmental engineering facilities; however, the overall requirements are becoming increasingly complex. In the Master's programme in Environmental Engineering, students deepen their specialist knowledge and acquire comprehensive skills for taking on demanding management, research, development and design tasks in environmental engineering. They pay particular attention to the increasingly important aspects of plant safety and occupational health and safety in the planning, construction and operation of environmental engineering plants, supplemented by specialist knowledge of environmental law and business management aspects and environmental and sustainability assessment.
