The environmental industry is currently experiencing rapid growth, highlighting the increasing importance of a deep understanding of the interconnections between technical, economic, and ecological contexts. For graduates who wish to specialize further in their field, the three-semester master’s program in environmental engineering at Hessen International University provides the perfect opportunity.

Within this program, students have the option to specialize in two of the following areas: Waste and Resource Management, Hydrology and Material Balance, Urban Water Management, Water Management/Hydraulic Engineering, Transportation and Environment, and Renewable Energy.

The curriculum is designed to attract students who have a scientific perspective, an interest in civil engineering systems, and a strong desire to actively contribute to environmental protection by promoting sustainable developments in infrastructure and civil engineering. Students will also have the chance to gain a foundational understanding of modeling techniques and to delve into topics such as energy and environmental policy or project management.

Upon completion of the master’s degree, students are well-prepared to pursue doctoral studies. Furthermore, Hessen International University offers a unique opportunity to obtain a “Certificate of Environmental Knowledge” through the Graduate Center for Environmental Research and Teaching. This certificate allows students to gain insights into current environmental research and fosters interdisciplinary connections with fellow students and doctoral candidates.
