If you are interested in how ...
- we can use sustainable energy from the sun, the earth, etc.,
- use sunlight to cool our buildings,
- restore streams and rivers to good health,
- turn water into valuable drinking water,
- turn waste water into fertilizer,
- extract valuable resources from waste,
- ensure the world remains a livable place in the future,
... then the degree program in environmental engineering is a great choice for you. Career prospects in this field are extremely good due to a projected lack of trained experts in the area in coming years – you can complete your qualified training program in the field in Höxter.
