At the beginning of the studies, you get familiar with the principles of natural and physical sciences, environmental technology, circular economy and sustainable development, as well as their interaction with climate change, and biological and technological cycles. These form the foundation to deepen your competence development during your further studies.
The professional studies include topics, such as resource and material efficiency, digital tools, quality and project management, built environment, product design and responsible business relevant in the perspective of sustainable solutions and circular economy.
Variety of opportunities to deepen your knowledge
During your studies, you have a chance to deepen your knowledge in the selected topics during your internship (30 ECTSs is obligatory) and while doing your final thesis, as well as in the different applied development projects and online studies.
One of the main learning outcomes is the development of entrepreneurial and teamworking skills. This will enhance your ability to figure out business and development challenges to advance your own career opportunities and working life.
Our renewed circular economy and material laboratories and projects, done with the close connections of working life, gives you also the opportunity to test ideas in practice.
