Course of Study

  • The Bachelor's degree course in Environmental Engineering Sciences is a modularised attendance programme with a duration of six semesters. The programme is divided into a compulsory and compulsory elective area.
     
  • Students are taught scientific-mathematical and engineering fundamentals from the fields of civil engineering, water management and process engineering as well as key ecological, economic and legal skills. Building on this, students are introduced to the main fields of application of the profession.
     
  • The programme is offered in German and can only be started in the winter semester.

Curriculum

Teaching and learning forms

The study-specific examination and study regulations of the Bachelor's degree programme in Environmental Engineering determine which modules have to be completed in which semester (see study programme schedule). In addition, students receive a timetable for each semester in which the courses of all modules of the respective semester are scheduled.

The contents of the course are taught in different courses. The types of courses are characterised by the use of different forms of teaching and learning.

The following types of courses are used in the Bachelor's programme in Environmental Engineering:

Examinations and Examination prerequisites

As a rule, each module concludes with an examination at the end of the respective semester.

The examination can take the form of a written exam, an oral exam or another form (e.g. term paper, presentation). It can be taken as an individual or group examination. Examinations can also be taken during lectures.

Examination prerequisites can be defined in a module. The examination prerequisites are announced at the beginning of the semester. They can be assessed and graded, but are not included in the module grade. The following examination prerequisites are possible in the degree programme Environmental Engineering Sciences:

  • Constructive drafts/building planning
  • Exercise
  • Inspection work/documentation/evidence
  • Poster presentation
  • Presentation
  • Project work
  • Regular participation in courses according to § 7 RPO
  • Report/documentation
  • Test

Examination period

At the Faculty of Faculty for Agriculture, Civil and Environmental Engineering the examination period of a semester is divided into two examination phases. The first examination phase of the examination period of a semester takes place in the first two weeks after the end of the lecture period. The second examination phase of the examination period takes place two weeks before the start of the new semester.

Examinations on the standard examination date can also only be offered in one of the two examination phases. Repeat examinations are only offered once during the examination period.
