Master Environmental Engineering
Current environmental issues such as climate change, air and water pollution, resource tightening concomitant with increasing waste production, and disastrous flooding pose enormous challenges for society, science, and technology.
The Master's programme “Environmental Engineering” was introduced in 2021/22 to address these challenges.
The programme has a duration of 4 semesters (120 ECTS) and more information is provided in the curriculum (in German).
