Qualification Goals

The students learn basic knowledge of natural and engineering sciences, focused on the application area of environmental engineering and sustainable technologies, as well as basics of sustainable management under the aspects of climate change, resource scarcity and demographic developments. They can apply and deepen the fundamentals they have learned against the background of the interdisciplinary orientation of the degree program in projects and elective modules.

The students are able to research, interpret and scrutinize scientific texts. Based on this, they can specify own scientific tasks. They can present their results in a structured way and to defend them in front of a specialist audience.

In addition to teaching basic subject and methodological skills, working in small groups primarily promotes social skills. Furthermore, students acquire extensive knowledge in intercultural competence through the corresponding modules and contact with international fellow students. Students gain the ability to interact in German (or German students in another foreign language) at the level they have acquired. Knowledge of the German language also makes a significant contribution to graduates' ability to integrate in Germany, especially in medium-sized companies.

After graduation, they will be able to assess the impact of business activities and technical products and processes on the environment, especially in the economic and ecological, as well as the social dimension, and thus bring about sustainable action.

Graduates have the ability to apply the acquired knowledge in their profession, to independently identify, analyze and solve problems using scientific procedures. They are able to organize themselves and show teamwork skills in interdisciplinary cooperation. They can take on tasks in nationally or internationally active companies and organizations. The interdisciplinary interface between engineering and economics anchored in the degree program results in a wide range of employment opportunities and career prospects, particularly in technology-oriented companies in both technical and economic functional areas.

Graduates have recognized the necessity of lifelong learning and have acquired the skills to do so. In addition, successful completion of the program qualifies graduates for admission to master's degree programs at universities in Germany and abroad, provided they meet the admission requirements.
