BSc Environmental Engineering at University of Stuttgart

Climate change, air pollution, water scarcity, heat, flooding, and mountains of waste – countries around the world are struggling with a long list of environmental problems. The Environmental Engineering study programme combines natural and engineering sciences and methods, to develop technical solutions for current environmental problems. This knowledge can be used to implement societal goals, such as the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, the EU Green Deal, and climate neutrality as international objectives, as well as water reuse as a national objective.

Duration: 6 semesters (3 years)  |  Study mode: full-time, German-taught  |  Intake: Winter semester  |  Location: Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

What you will study

Responses to climate change, microplastics, PFAS in soil, reuse concepts, smart grids, or social vulnerability in cities require broad, interdisciplinary knowledge in the natural, engineering, and environmental sciences - the toolbox for environmental engineering students. Tools such as math, chemistry, biology, engineering mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, meteorology, geology, spatial planning & environmental planning, environmental measurement technology, and environmental law are taught in semesters 1 through 4.

Career pathways

In addition to offering a pathway to a consecutive master’s programme, the Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering prepares graduates for a broad range of engineering roles in industry and the public sector, both nationally and internationally. Possible career options are: Technical management in municipal or industrial companies. Project management for planning, development, or construction projects.
