The bachelor’s programme “Environmental Engineering” lasts 6 semesters.
On successful completion of the programme, students receive the title Bachelor of Science (BSc).
Besides the master’s programme, this degree gives graduates the opportunity to continue their studies abroad or to complete a master’s programme in a related field.
The bachelor’s programme is subdivided into:
| Compulsory courses | 152 credits |
| Free electives (6,0 credits out of them from the central transferable skills offering) | 18 credits |
| Bachelor thesis | 10 credits |
