Master of Science in Environmental Engineering Technical University of Munich

Courses are held in English. Single elective modules might be held in German.

The Environmental Engineering programme aims to educate engineers who will acquire special knowledge in the field of anticipatory environmental protection. Study emphasis has been put on the areas of water, soil, infrastructure, and cross-cutting methods. Sustainability and impact-oriented views of engineering activities with regard to the environment, human beings and the economy take centre stage. This knowledge allows for optimal solutions in which both the needs of the environment and the means of existence of our future generations are taken into account. Interdisciplinary work and, consequently, the intensive communication that occurs with concerned parties are of fundamental importance in the job description of environmental engineers. The required abilities will be improved through team and project work in our Master's programme at the TUM.

We suggest that international applicants submit their applications six weeks prior to the deadline in order to receive an early evaluation.

The fees apply to students from countries outside the European Economic Area.

Please refer to the following website for more information on tuition fees at TUM: https://www.tum.de/en/studies/fees/tuition.

Students choose two out of eleven fields of study at the beginning of their first semester and thus define their specialisation profile. The fields of study are:

1. Urban Water Engineering
2. Water Resources Management
3. Hydraulic Engineering
4. Hydrogeology, Groundwater, Geothermal Energy
5. Modelling and Measurement of Flow and Transport
6. Resource Efficiency in Urban Planning
7. Environmental Geotechnics
8. Environmental Hazards and Risk
9. Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning
10. Transportation Engineering and Control
11. Water-Energy-Food Nexus

Over a common block of "Cross Cutting Methods, Technologies and Fundamentals", students of all fields of study can receive general competences in the obtaining, processing and modelling of environmental data, deepen their laboratory skills or practise the use of specific software. An applied study project is accomplished during this three-semester period. The course is completed in the last semester with the Master's thesis.

The programme educates engineers how to cope with the global environmental challenges. Teaching places a special focus on transferability and applicability of the content in different international environments. TUM's own international research programmes offer manifold opportunities for research and internships stays abroad. Additionally, the programme has a high flexibility in the transfer of credits from foreign universities for the students who participate in our exchange programmes.

No internship is required.
