Kurzbeschreibung
Engineering is essential to all buildings, start-ups, processes, many hobbies and all kinds of ideas. How great is the potential for achieving climate and sustainability goals, developing green innovations, and preventing green washing? Enormous – in our opinion. Which is why we train tomorrow’s engineers. Sustainable Engineering is the degree programme that combines the foundations of engineering with the principles of sustainability science.
Become part of a new generation of engineers and do your undergraduate degree at our university. Besides opening up challenging fields of work and careers, you will also become part of a major movement to combat climate change, the waste of resources, and antiquated production methods and ways of doing business.
On your interdisciplinary programme, you will follow a curriculum that includes basic sustainability science disciplines and methods, as well as several engineering modules from the fields of mathematics, engineering mechanics, materials science, energy and process engineering, and engineering design, leading to a recognised engineering degree. After successfully completing the bachelor’s degree in Sustainable Engineering, you can officially call yourself an engineer.
Lehrinhalte
- Engineering sciences
- Sustainability science
- Engineering ethics
- Sustainability economics
- Sustainable product design
- Circulation technology
- Renewable energies
- Life cycle assessment
- Sustainable production engineering
- Development and construction
This interdisciplinary degree programme integrates elements of critical philosophy of technology, climate sciences, sustainability economics, sustainable production as well as circulation technology and other sustainability-focused elements. It is therefore a contemporary and socially relevant degree programme.
A special feature at the start of your programme is the practice-oriented bachelor’s project.Working as part of a group with fellow students, you develop an engineering solution to a current research or practical issue. You should have completed the pre-internship by the end of the fourth semester. This then opens up two core elective modules in addition to the interdisciplinary compulsory modules. If you decide to do your specialised internship at the Master’s stage instead, the number of elective modules increases to five.
You can choose from six different specialisations:
- Development and Construction
- Sustainable Production Engineering
- Energy and Process Engineering
- Automation and Digitalisation
- Sustainability Sciences
- Environmental Protection & Water Management
- An interest in sustainability
- Enthusiasm for technology and development
- Interdisciplinary interest
- Basic skills in mathematics
- Knowledge of English, as there are two compulsory modules in English and also English-language modules in the elective area
- Renewable energies sector
- Manufacturing industry
- Start-ups
- Non-governmental organisations
- Waste management
- Raw materials industry
- Automation and digitalisation industry
- Production engineering
- Mechanical Engineering (Master of Science)
- Biomedical Engineering (Master of Science)
- Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (Master of Science)
- Power Engineering (Master of Science)
- Geodesy and Geoinformatics, Specialisation in Navigation and Field Robotics (Master of Science)
- Mechatronics and Robotics (Master of Science)
- Production and Logistics (Master of Science)
- Environmental Engineering (Master of Science)
- Sustainable Engineering (Master of Science)
Zugangsvoraussetzungen
This degree programme is admission-free.
If you did not graduate from a German school nor have a German higher education entrance qualification (for example, the Abitur), a language certificate proving your knowledge of German is required for the application and enrollment.
