10/20/2025The protection of resources, reduction of emissions, and dealing with the effects of climate change are global challenges, for which technical solutions must be quickly found, that are environmentally compatible and economically viable. These solutions can take the form of either an adaption, that is adaption to unavoidable changes, or mitigation, that is a reduction, for example to greenhouse gas emissions. For example, due to climate change flood levels will increase and corresponding protective measures must be developed. Engineering expertise and efficient planning strategies are needed for the reduction of greenhouse gases, the protection of raw material supplies, the processing of waste full of valuable substances. The worldwide tendency towards urbanization poses a further challenge, particularly for sanitation and transport planning. Additionally, every technical development must be made with consideration for sustainability and investigated for its ecological effects. Furthermore, skilled communication with decision-makers, for example in politics, will become even more relevant. Environmental engineering is unique because it does not just take an engineering perspective into consideration, unlike the other technical disciplines. Technical expertise and ecological judgement don't work against each other but rather deliver homogenous concepts. Through the interaction of various disciplines approaches for solutions are developed for problems which are among are current and future global challenges. The course of study at RWTH combines technical skills from civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and mineral resources and raw materials engineering with those from various natural sciences. Due to RWTH's technical profile and the expertise of the Faculties offering this course of study, the interdisciplinary selection of subjects is taught at high scientific niveau. Graduates acquire a unique skill that has an engineering focus but also integrates the solution oriented methodology of other environmentally relevant subject perspectives and investigative methods. The course of study teaches the fundamentals of all the subjects involved and does not offer students the possibility to specialize during their Bachelor's studies. In the Master's program students can select a specialization from among five focuses in environmental engineering and develop their own skills profile.
