Air and water pollution control as well as the removal of waste are challenges facing society throughout the world. We have to face these challenges and try to find appropriate solutions.
In addition to dealing with the political and legal implications, the specific education and training of engineers has become an essential prerequisite in mastering these environmental challenges. The Universität Stuttgart has a long tradition of teaching and research in these areas and, for that reason, is now offering an interdisciplinary Master of Science degree in Environmental Engineering called "Air Quality Control, Solid Waste and Waste Water Process Engineering" (WASTE).
The program will provide students with the education necessary to meet these multidisciplinary demands. Not only is the scientific structure ideal in Stuttgart, but there are also very close ties between the academic world and the industry in the state of Baden-Württemberg. In Stuttgart, students have a wide range of opportunities to gain first-hand practical experience in some of the small and medium-sized companies that form the backbone of this state´s economy.
This degree program is designed for persons wishing to find employment outside of Germany or in international operating companies and will provide participants with profound knowledge in the state of the art in the field of environmental technology. It will cover air quality, solid waste and waste water control and treatment technologies based on the fundamentals of process engineering.
The Master of Science Program "Air Quality Control, Solid Waste and Waste Water Process Engineering" (WASTE) is designed to be completed within three and a half semesters and starts every January.
During the first one and a half semesters, all students take the same courses concentrating on the advanced fundamentals of environmental process engineering but also covering some new aspects.
In the second semester, the students choose two of the three "Specialized Areas" "Air Quality Control", "Solid Waste" and "Waste Water". The Specialized Areas are a combination of "Core Courses" and "Electives" enabling the students to organise their studies in accordance with their own interests and needs.
The third semester is dedicated for the Master´s Thesis.
Classes are taught in English. However, students who are proficient in German may choose additional electives taught in German.
International students without prior knowledge of the German language have to participate in German language courses accompanying the program throughout the first one and a half years.
The courses are supplemented by scientific and practical work within the research activities of the university institutes. Each student will be allocated to an advisor to ensure that each individual program is efficient and goal-oriented.
Upon successful completion of the program, the students will be awarded a Master of Science degree in "Air Quality Control, Solid Waste and Waste Water Process Engineering".
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
Take testAs a prerequisite for admission to the program, the following admission requirements must be fulfilled:
a school certificate authorizing the holder to enter a German university or an authorization regarded as equivalent,
a Bachelor or Diplom Degree in Chemical, Civil, Environmental, Mechanical, or Process Engineering or a related field with good results,
a TOEFL (CB) score of 213 points or equivalent test results (e.g. TOEFL (PB) 550, IELTS Band 6.0) as proof of sufficient knowledge of English (not older than two years at the day of the application deadline);
applicants from China: APS certificate;
further required documents are specified in the application form.
Furthermore, there are three entrance examinations in Chemistry, Microbiology, and Thermodynamics to be passed.
To prepare for them, there are preparatory courses starting in January.
