Environmental Engineering (graduate)

The advanced degree in Environmental Engineering builds on knowledge from a related bachelor’s program and, where applicable, professional experience. Students typically specialize in areas such as building energy efficiency and sustainability, power engineering, recycling, or environmental process engineering; alternatively, some master’s programs cover a broad cross-section of the field.

The program concludes with a second qualifying university degree.

Environmental Engineering can also be pursued in dual-study formats as well as part-time or distance-learning programs.

Modules, e.g.:

• Waste Engineering
• Advanced Life Cycle Assessment of Products and Systems
• Advanced Transportation Planning and Public Transport
• Contaminated Site Survey and Remediation
• Applied Hydrogeology
• Biological Wastewater Treatment
• Experimental Geotechnics – Foundation Damage and Remediation
• Infrastructure Management
• Air Pollution Control
• Management Methods in Construction and Environmental Engineering
• Mathematics/Statistics
• Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
• Sustainable Waste Management and Life Cycle Assessment Application
• Drinking Water Treatment / Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Practical study components:

Depending on the university: internships, practice modules or a practical semester (e.g., in companies, engineering offices or research institutes, possibly abroad), research projects and field trips.
