Enviromental Engineering an Modelling

The focal point of the Environmental Engineering and Modelling Study Programme is the acquisition of sustainable strategies and solutions for

• Aspects of sustainability
• The maintenance and development of the natural resources; water, soil and air
• IT-supported investigation and handling of environmental data
• The simulation of environmental and action processes

The standard period of study including the Masters thesis is four semesters. The course comprises of 64 hours per week per semester and 120 credits respectively. The study programme contains joint modules of 4 compulsory units (law, soft skills, planning processes and project handling) and 2 compulsory optional units (Interdisciplinary and International planning tasks) with the Landscape Architecture study programme. The compulsory optional units list "International Planning Tasks” contains subjects such as Water Supply in Developing Countries, Waste Management in Developing Countries, Urban Areas, Sustainable Landscape Development, Contemporary Landscape Architecture and "Interdisciplinary Planning Tasks” - subjects such as Recycling and Recultivitation of areas, River Catchments Management, Environmental Information Systems and Models.

 

Additionally there are 6 compulsory modules: Mathematics or Numerics and Algorithms, Computer Science or Process Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Modelling foundation course, Environmental Science projects - one in the second semester and one in the third semester.
Furthermore 4 compulsory optional modules must be chosen with 2 from the list containing: Applied Sustainability and Innovation, Applied Hydrology, Assessment and Restoration of landfill sites and contaminated land, Industrial Water Supply and Distribution, IT-Controlling, Management of Geodata and Monitoring Systems.

 

The other two compulsory optional modules must be taken from the list: Air Pollution, Ground Water and Infiltration, Simulation of Sewage works, Transport of mass in Ground Water, Fluid and Solid transport in rivers, Visualisation, Parallel Calculation, IT Security and Law.

 

The 16 modules (10 compulsory and 6 compulsory optional modules) are completed with an examination e.g. in the form of a written test, oral examination, submission of project work or an onscreen elaboration and presentation.  After this as a rule, the Masters thesis and colloquium are done in the fourth semester of the study programme.

Requirements:
Students who have successfully completed other appropriate study programmes of at least 6 semesters with an average grade of 2.3 or higher will be admitted to the study programme.
Certification of at least 30 credits in total must be provided with at least 20 credits (or 10 credits) in subjects from the areas of Mathematics and Computer Science or 10 credits (or 20 credits) from the area Principles of Engineering Science.

 

 

After successfully graduating, students will have access to upper grade civil service positions. Positions in engineering and planning offices, local authorities, public administration organisations, associations, industrial and consultancy companies are also possible
