Career prospects

As a graduate of the Master's degree programme in Sustainable Engineering, you will be able to answer engineering questions from the multidimensional perspective of sustainability and enhance established engineering research from this new point of view. You have an eye on the special social challenges and demands placed on technical equipment and act as an expert for interdisciplinary, resource-saving, innovative and sustainable solutions.

As a key player, you will also organise company processes in development, design and production according to sustainability-related criteria. You will manage processes in companies and ensure sustainable production methods.

With your Master's degree in Sustainable Engineering, you will have a wide range of career opportunities in industry, research, technical departments of local authorities and other sustainability-related organisations, both nationally and internationally. Of course, you can also pursue an academic career and do a doctorate with your Master's degree.
