Description

The Master of Science in Environmental Engineering at TU Darmstadt is the ideal specialisation for anyone who wants to build on their knowledge from their Bachelor's degree and is looking for individual design options. The four-semester programme comprises 120 credit points (CP) and enables you to pursue your specialist interests in a targeted manner. In this Master's programme, you will combine scientific and engineering know-how with the ability to solve complex environmental problems innovatively.

The programme is structured as follows:

Compulsory area (12 CP):

Here you will learn advanced methods of environmental engineering, which will lay the foundation for your further specialisation.

Subjcect-realted elective area (78 CP):

In this extensive area, you have the opportunity to set your own specialisation. Choose two of the following subject areas to deepen your expertise:

· Engineering hydrology and hydraulic engineering

· Spatial planning and resource management

· Environmental monitoring

· Water technology and pollutants

Each specialisation offers you the opportunity to design your studies according to your interests and prepare yourself specifically for your professional future. In addition, you can select further elective modules from the catalogue of all specialisations in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

General elective area (6 CP):

This area allows you to expand your studies beyond the boundaries of environmental engineering. Choose from the entire TU Darmstadt course catalogue to gain new perspectives and expand your interdisciplinary skills.

Alumni careers

Whether climate change, disappearing natural resources, overpopulation or megacities and their related problems, environmental issues are becoming more and more important. It will not be possible to accomplish these serious challenges without technical solutions. One can readily assume that environmental knowledge will be highly valued in the future, giving graduates of this program a high degree of employability.

Environmental engineers are employed in areas dealing with water supply and disposal, waste disposal, energy supply, environmental aspects of urban planning, decontamination of air, ground and noise pollution.

Environmental engineers work as project leaders, appraisers and planners. They may be employed in engineering offices, public service, development projects, transport companies and sanitation services.

Environmental engineers often work closely with civil engineers, geodetic engineers, mechanical engineers, architects, spatial planners and landscape planners, as well as in teams with natural, industrial or social scientists to find solutions to various issues.
