Overview

The Bachelor's programme in Environmental Sciences and Engineering responds to challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, pollution and biodiversity loss. First-year students acquire the mathematics and physics basics. The following two years combine general environmental science, including environmental chemistry, microbiology, soil science and atmospheric physicochemistry, with engineering techniques such as hydrology, sanitary engineering, water and waste management and quantitative methods. Optional classes complement this joint programme. The page presents biotechnology in wastewater treatment and soil remediation as central to the discipline, and links graduates to careers in environmental project management.
