Feature

The program is offered in cooperation with the Konstanz University of Applied Sciences (HTWG) and provides a broad-based study program at a high level. Students benefit from the differentiated orientation of the two universities involved. While the main focus of the Ravensburg-Weingarten University of Applied Sciences is rather on the fields of energy technology, environmental analysis, radioecology, the HTWG Konstanz is specialized in the fields of apparatus, plants, mechanical and thermal process engineering.
Particular emphasis is placed on adapting the course offerings to the needs of practice. Students can apply and consolidate their acquired knowledge in laboratory practicals, in project work and during the master's thesis.
In terms of profile, the program is strongly application-oriented and meets with great interest from industry due to its broad orientation (process engineering, apparatus and plant engineering, analytics, energy systems engineering).

Study & study contents

The curriculum of the 3-semester Master's program is modular. In the first two semesters, 9 compulsory modules must be completed, plus two of four elective modules. In the 3rd semester, the written master's thesis is completed, for which 30 ECTS points are awarded.
In almost all modules, students acquire technical competence and thus deepen their environmental and process engineering knowledge.
In connection with the broadly based technical education, students acquire important methodological and key competencies for their later professional life, especially in the practical study phases (internships, project work, master's thesis).

Profession & Perspectives

According to the unanimous forecast of the major associations VDI/GVC, DECHEMA and VDMA, the demand for engineers in the field of environmental and process engineering will increase. Graduates of the master's degree program in environmental and process engineering have access to the entire industrial sector of the chemical industry, pharmaceuticals, the food industry, plant and equipment construction, and even energy technology, biotechnology and medical technology. Jobs are also offered by public and private environmental and analytical laboratories, as well as the civil service and engineering offices.

to the online application

Who gets a study place?

Prerequisite for admission is a Bachelor's degree or another at least equivalent university degree in a technical or scientific field with an overall grade of at least 2.9.

Improvements of the overall grade

The overall grade can be improved by up to 0.3 with an appropriate letter of motivation.

Move-up procedure

Prospective students often apply to several universities and study programs. As a result, study places regularly become available again because an applicant decides to take up another study place. These vacant places are then awarded to those who did not make it in the first place. Places are again allocated according to the ranking list, i.e. first to those with the best overall grade.

Bachelor degree with 180ECTS

The Master's degree can only be awarded if 300 ECTS points have been achieved, including the previous degree. For applicants with a Bachelor's degree with 180ECTS, the head of the study program can define an appropriate preliminary semester in consultation with the applicant.

Further information on the application and the allocation of study places can be found in the Admissions Office.

SEMESTER FEE

Each semester, a semester fee is due for all students upon enrollment or re-registration. This fee is charged at a similar rate by all universities in Germany.

Composition and amount of the fee

FEES FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AND FOR SECOND DEGREE PROGRAMS

In Baden-Württemberg, there has been a tuition fee for international students (non-EU citizens) and a second-study fee since the winter semester 2017/2018. Thus, in some cases, a tuition fee must be paid in addition to the semester fee.

Prior to enrollment, applicants from non-EU countries or applicants for a second degree will receive a form to assess whether a tuition fee obligation actually exists.

The amounts and detailed information can be found under Finances
