Environment and Energy, B.Sc.
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 this course to fulfil that need and 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 as well as our hands-on approach are an excellent preparation for you to cooperate with experts in your subject area on a global scale.
