As an environmental engineer, you will ensure environmental compatibility, social acceptance and international competitiveness in the design, construction and operation of technical facilities. The degree programme is therefore based on the so-called "three pillars of sustainability", namely ecology, economy and social aspects, whereby your studies will focus on projects to protect the environment, the sustainable use of resources, the recycling of residual materials and the closing of material cycles. As an environmental engineer, you should therefore have a very broad basic knowledge from a previous degree programme.

In the three-semester Master's degree programme in Environmental Technology (ET), you must earn a total of 90 credit points (CPs). 30 CPs are allocated to the Master's thesis and 17 CPs to the three compulsory modules (Technology Assessment, Process Chain Simulation and Apparatus Engineering and Plant Design). You earn the remaining 43 CPs in the three areas of compulsory elective modules category A, compulsory elective modules category B and free elective modules. In the compulsory elective modules category A, you must choose two out of four available modules (approx. 12 CPs depending on your choice). The compulsory elective modules category B section contains at least 35 modules, from which you must select enough so that, together with the credits from the compulsory elective modules category A section, you have a total of at least 37 credits. This leaves 6 CPs from the area of holiday elective modules. Here you can choose freely from the range of all modules offered at TUBAF.

Thanks to the wide range of electives on offer, you are free to take many modules from one area of ET if you would like to specialise in one discipline of ET, or to spread the modules across the various disciplines of ET if you would prefer a broad education.

The Master's degree in ET no longer teaches the basics of natural sciences, engineering and process engineering. These are a prerequisite and the scientific training of future graduates in the Master's degree programme in Environmental Technology builds on them.

What else needs to be said:

• No more than five examinations per examination period, usually only four examinations per examination period. You don't have to rush from exam to exam! You have the time and opportunity to really get to grips with the material and learn it for your long-term memory.
• individual options by choosing compulsory elective modules from a predefined module catalogue and by choosing free elective modules. àYou can develop flexibly according to your engineering interests and you also have the opportunity to think outside the box

We, the study committee, are convinced that this Master's degree programme will prepare you excellently for future job profiles in industry and science and that you will be able to develop individually according to your interests.

We will be happy to support you. If you have any questions about the programme, please give us a call.
