Bachelor Environmental Engineering

1st and 2nd semester: Basics

• Mathematical-scientific: mathematics, chemistry, physics, etc.
• Engineering: Electrical engineering, materials science, construction elements, etc.

3rd to 5th semester: specialization in environmental technology

• Engineering: biomass, mobility, water supply, immission control, waste management
  
  
• Interdisciplinary modules: Business Administration, Law, Technical English
  
  
• Optional modules: Current topics in environmental technology

6th/7th semester:

From the 6th semester onwards, you will gain practical experience.
       

• either during a 12-week practical phase in a company
• or during a practical semester of at least 20 weeks or a semester abroad
         - Bachelor PLUS

You will then write your bachelor thesis.

After successfully completing your Bachelor's thesis, you will then be awarded the academic degree Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) as an evironmental technology engineer.

The basic studies are identical for all students of energy, building and environmental engineering. They all study together. That's why you can change courses without any problems until the third semester, if you wish!

• interdisciplinary: Energy technology is in mutual exchange with environmental and building technology. Therefore, the structure of the course offers our students the opportunity to look beyond their own horizons. They not only learn to understand complex technical systems, but also to think interdisciplinary.
• practice-oriented: We train for practice. Many laboratory internships and excursions ensure that you do not lose sight of the application of your knowledge.
  
  
• networked and international: We are constantly working on cooperations with companies and universities. So you can expand your knowledge through practical training or a semester at another university - even abroad.
  
  
• strong in research and knowledge transfer: Our students have their finger on the pulse because they benefit from the knowledge gained from our research projects. We develop application-oriented solutions to current problems.
  
  
• flexible: Your interests define the subject area in which you specialize according to the basics - you become an engineer in energy and energy technology. And you decide whether you want to complete your studies in seven or six semesters, i.e. with a practical phase or a practical/foreign semester.

• Lectures in which the necessary theoretical basics are presented and explained.
  
  
• Exercises in which case studies and tasks are specifically prepared for examinations and practice.
  
  
• Internships in which practice-oriented knowledge is imparted in our laboratories and test halls and within the framework of field tests.
  
  
• Excursions to different building specific facilities.

As a prerequisite for your studies, you must have completed an 8-week internship. This should take place in a technical or predominantly technical area. Up to four weeks of this can also be completed in a commercial area. Please refer to the file below to find out in which professional fields you can do the internship. The internship must be proven by the beginning of the third semester.

BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, THE OBLIGATION OF THE PRE-PRACTICE IS WAIVED!

If you have completed vocational training, this can be recognised instead. You can also find out which professions are suitable for this in the file below.

As a Bachelor of Engineering, you have the opportunity to complete an advanced Master's degree.

The EGU department also offers you four different Master's programmes.

The demand for engineers in environmental technology is constantly growing. On the job market, specialists and managers are in demand who are technically fit and are able to assess facts even in larger contexts. Our engineers are ideally suited for this due to their previous technical and scientific knowledge. Career prospects and pay are above average, and companies often recruit our graduates even before they graduate.

As varied as their tasks are, so are the employers of engineers in building technology, for example local authorities and municipal utilities.
