Environmental engineering - Nature at the center

Is the environment and its use an important issue for you that you would like to support professionally in the future? Are you a person who is connected to nature and wants to fight for an environmentally friendly world? Do you want to promote respect for nature, people and scarce natural resources and work to conserve them? A degree in environmental engineering is obviously the right course for you. Become an environmental engineer and learn the science of nature and its sustainable use. Take a look at the current courses on offer in the natural sciences. Various universities offer this interesting and nature-loving course in environmental engineering.

 

Within this versatile degree course, you can specialize in various areas. You can currently choose from the following specializations: Environmental Education; Horticulture, Renewable Resources and Renewable Energies, Nature Management, Urban Horticulture. Choose the direction that suits you best. However, you will find the central theme in every field of study: a careful relationship and the careful use of all natural resources. Study environmental engineering at a university and pursue meaningful work in your everyday professional life. The education platform in Switzerland, Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch, provides you with numerous educational opportunities. Here you will also find the right contacts where you can request further information.

Questions and answers

For the fall semester 2016, the following specializations are offered in Environmental Engineering: Organic Agriculture and Horticulture; Environmental Systems and Sustainable Development; Renewable Energy and Eco-Technologies; Urban Ecosystems. Each specialization comprises nine modules, which must be attended and usually begin with a basic specialization module.

A full-time course is expected to take six semesters, i.e. three years of study, to complete a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering. Part-time studies last between eight and twelve semesters, depending on the intensity of the course.

The degree course in Environmental Engineering comprises 180 ECTS credits, which students collect over the course of their studies. In the first semester, seven compulsory modules are taken in full-time study. For the winter semester 2016/2017, these are: Climatology and Computer Science; Culture and Languages 1 (English 1, Culture, Society, Language 1); Biology 1 (Botany 1, Microbiology), Use of Natural Resources (Use of Natural Resources, Flora and Fauna 1); Natural Sciences 1 (Chemistry 1, Mathematics for Environmental Engineers 1); Earth Sciences (Geology, Soil Science 1); and Nature and Society (Nature and Society 1, Project Week UNR). In the second semester, prospective environmental engineers again attend compulsory modules (Culture and Languages 2; Biology 2; Ecology - with Ecology and Environmental Analysis; Natural Sciences 2; Applied Mathematics and Statistics; Physics 1; Nature and Society 2; and Project Management. In addition, students choose a specialization and attend a foundation module in this specialization. In the third semester, the curriculum again includes basic modules for the respective specialization, as well as a large selection of modules that can be taken individually or as a minor. By attending a large number of modules in a minor, such as species knowledge, field diagnostics and analytics, life cycle assessment and label management, or education and consulting, students determine a further focus and can thus individually design their environmental engineering studies. In the third semester, "Visual Communication" is added as a compulsory module, followed by a term paper in the fourth semester and the compulsory Bachelor's thesis in the sixth semester. For a detailed module overview, please contact the individual Universities of Environmental Engineering directly.

It cannot be said with certainty that the specializations of the degree course in Environmental Engineering this semester will be identical to those in three or four semesters. It is possible that individual specializations will be exchanged and replaced by others, perhaps even all of them. It is therefore important to find out at an early stage about the specializations offered by the individual Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) or Federal Institutes of Technology (FIT) for the semester in question.

The full-time Bachelor's degree course in Environmental Engineering is expected to require 30 contact lessons per week as well as individual self-study and exam preparation.
