Environmental Engineering

The programme lasts four semesters. Two semesters consist entirely of coursework (lectures, exercises, seminars, labs,..). The third semester is split between coursework and the practical study project. The final semester is reserved for the completion of the master’s thesis. Students must complete a certain number of credits in several thematic categories. The Fields of Study (s."What is the degree program about?") are the core specialisations of the programme and determine the graduate’s professional profile. Most of the programme's credits come from these categories. Cross Cutting Methods Cross Cutting Methods deliver overarching competences that are relevant for all Fields of Study, such as acquiring, modelling and visualisation of environmental data, scientific work and paper writing, as well as aspects of renewable energy. Students can choose modules from the entire module catalogue of TUM to broaden their horizons. Eligible are modules from other Fields of Study of Environmental Engineering, other Study Programmes of TUM, soft skills, and language courses. You can browse through the curriculum and read the syllabi of the courses in TUMonline or download the module handbook in the documents section. International Mobility Students have the opportunity to participate in one of the many international exchange programs offered by TUM. The third semester is most suited for an international mobility, as it consists only of elective modules and the study project. Both the electives and the study project can be done in cooperation with a partner university. There is also the possibility of making the study project remotely at TUM while being abroad.
