Environmental Engineering International (B.Sc.)
What makes this degree programme special?
- Mandatory year abroad in one of the university's partner countries
- Focus on international competence and development cooperation
- Modern heat pump laboratory, outdoor practical training and excursions
- Easy to switch between ‘Environmental Technology’ and ‘Environmental Engineering International’
- Active student life (supported by a student association)
What is the structure of the programme?
The subject areas of environmental engineering are very diverse and require interdisciplinary competences. The international degree programme combines an engineering education with the teaching of international competence and topics of development cooperation. The teaching is very practical with various laboratory practicals, exercises in small groups and guest lecturers from professional practice. In the 5th and 6th semesters, you will gain experience abroad at a partner university and complete an internship abroad. The stay abroad is intensively prepared and followed up in the degree programme.
