Environmental and Climate Protection Technology

Do you want to tackle the root causes of the problems of our time?

As an environmental and climate protection engineer, you will design industrial plants, monitor material flows, advise companies and plan environmental protection measures. Whether in research, consulting, environmental technology and energy management or in plant and mechanical engineering, this degree programme opens up exciting career opportunities for you.

And more importantly, it gives you the chance to work where you can have the greatest impact. For example, you can pursue a career as an environmental engineer, climate protection engineer or resource manager.

What are the causes of environmental problems and how can we solve them?

The Environmental and Climate Protection Engineering programme enables you to create innovations for environmental protection and adapt existing technology to the challenges of our time. You will acquire specialist knowledge in process engineering, waste management, environmental analysis and recycling management.

You will learn how to design industrial processes that are ecological, economical and climate-neutral, and how to develop recycling measures to protect the climate and the environment. In doing so, you will create solutions for the entire process chain, from collection and sorting to processing and recycling.

After completing your studies, you will have both the expertise and the perspective to improve our world in a sustainable way.
