Study program structure and content
Responses to climate change, microplastics, PFAS in soil, reuse concepts, smart grids, or social vulnerability in cities require broad, interdisciplinary knowledge in the natural, engineering, and environmental sciences - the toolbox for environmental engineering students.
Tools such as math, chemistry, biology, engineering mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, meteorology, geology, spatial planning & environmental planning, environmental measurement technology, and environmental law are taught in semesters 1 through 4. The environmental module catalog of electives for the 5th and 6th semesters, along with the independently conducted Bachelor’s thesis, enables a subject-specific and application-oriented education through modern teaching formats and forms the basis for the master’s program.

The environmentally-focused content becomes especially tangible during excursions to facilities for energy production, waste recycling and disposal, water supply and treatment, and air quality management.

However, a large part of the teaching content in the Environmental Engineering Bachelor’s program is delivered in traditional lectures…

For Environmental Engineering students, it is especially important to get hands-on experience in practical laboratory sessions. Practical courses in inorganic and organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physics, and biology reinforce the theoretical knowledge gained. Being able to use a pipette properly in the chemistry lab, learning to operate measuring instruments, or taking a water sample – that is hands-on Environmental Engineering.
