Sustainable Resources and Energy Supply at RWTH Aachen University

Would it not be frightening to think if we did not have any more raw materials – we could not produce smartphones and without energy, we could not charge them? We would literally lose contact with the outside world. To maintain our accustomed standard of living, our resource demands must continue to be met and sockets must still provide electricity.

Faculty: Division of Mining Engineering, Mineral Processing, and Recycling in the Faculty of Georesources and Materials Engineering  |  Duration: 6 semesters (3 years)  |  Study mode: full-time; German-taught  |  Intake: Winter Semester  |  Location: Aachen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

What you will study

Aside from subjects focusing on theory, practical courses are also offered which provide an important insight into and contact with professional practice. The practical component includes a 20-day internship at a German company but it is not restricted to the German market.

Career pathways

Engineers with comprehensive skills and practical experience in the field of raw materials and energy engineering are highly sought after in the wake of the arising energy transition and resource scarcity, especially with their special course-specific focus on the energy mix from raw materials to security of supply.
