Content Climate Change Management & Eng. (B.Eng.)

What you will learn

Do we have to expect more flooding or more droughts?  Right at the beginning of the first semester, we focus on the physico-climatological fundamentals of climate change before we combine this knowledge with basic engineering skills with a special emphasis on renewable energies. In the second part of your study, we link your knowledge to basics in enviromental economics, law and psychology, in order to make you familiar wirh the possibilities of state bodies to enforce enforce climate protection goals. On the other hand we also equip you with various management skills, to prepare you for energy- and sustainability-related tasks in private businesses. Our holistic teaching and learning approach in small groups is accompanied by various excursions between multi-day outback experiences on climate change, and visits of sustainable city quarters or environmental technologies in enterprises. 

Our range of study programmes in Engineering, Management, Sustainability and Industrial Engineering is very diverse. Let yourself be inspired.

The first part of the study is taught in German. From the end of the second semester, classes will take place in English.

Contents of the study:

  • Natural science foundations on climatology and climate change
  • Energy technologies, energy efficiency and energy management
    with a special emphasis on rewnewable energies
  • Environmental engineering water/wastewater, waste, air and transport
  • Resource efficiency, environmental economics and environmental policy
