Our living environment is becoming increasingly contaminated: waste and pollutants in sewage and exhaust fumes have a negative impact on our quality of life. This is one reason why technical environmental protection is gaining importance. It plays a significant role in climate protection, energy efficiency and the conservation of natural resources – considerable challenges both now and for the future. Graduates of the bachelor’s degree program in Environmental and Process Engineering can help to shape this future.

Environmental and Process Engineering (B.Eng.) graduates are in great demand and their career prospects are extremely diverse. They are just as competent in the construction and development of environmentally sound machines as in the production of instruments for environmental engineering, in the service industry or in the field of consulting. Their fields of activity include mechanical engineering and plant construction, the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, the food production and biotechnology sectors, the automobile industry, public utilities and waste management companies, engineering companies and planning agencies, and the public sector.

The region of Augsburg is regarded as an outstanding international cluster in the field of environmental engineering, with businesses and institutions such as the Bavarian State Office for Environmental Protection (LfU) or the Bavarian Institute for Applied Environmental Research and Technology (BIfA). There are over 500 businesses in Swabia, the administrative district in which Augsburg is located, that rely on the expertise of environmental and process engineers. As a result, there is a great demand for qualified professionals in this field.

Prospective students of environmental and process engineering should demonstrate a good understanding of technology and an interest in science, as well as being inquisitive, imaginative and creative.

The application procedure takes place once a year. The course begins in the winter semester only. The application period is from 2 May to 15 July (final deadline).
