- Description/content
- This degree programme combines two areas of knowledge that have often been considered separately in the past: process engineering and management. Building on the fundamentals of natural sciences and engineering, in-depth knowledge of business administration and water management is taught, supplemented by advanced engineering topics with a focus on water treatment, water treatment and waste water technology.
The interdisciplinary approach qualifies graduates for demanding management positions. Potential employers include water companies, water boards and planning offices. The fields of activity lie at the interface of process engineering, water technology and water management. Examples of possible areas of employment include the planning and development of water and waste water treatment plants, plant construction, the operation of such plants, and the implementation and evaluation of quality management systems for drinking water suppliers.
The programme is aimed at students who want to combine technical expertise with business knowledge and work in a future-oriented field. With a clear focus on the sustainable use and treatment of water resources, it offers an ideal foundation for a career in a globally-relevant professional field.
