The Master's degree course in Bio- and Environmental Engineering focuses on deepening technical and scientific expertise in bio- and environmental engineering through specialization in one of the two subject areas. The focus of the training is on environmental process engineering, environmental biotechnology, bioenergy production, plant planning and technology, bioanalysis of biologically active substances and the determination of the availability of these substances in the human body, and quality management.

The Master's degree program in Civil Engineering in Building Construction enables a complete university education in the field of civil engineering with a focus on building construction. In addition to extensive, in-depth training in building construction, students are offered elective subjects (two elective subject groups).

The development of high-performance software systems requires knowledge and skills beyond the bachelor's level, both in development and architecture. The Master's program in Software Engineering (SE) prepares you to manage complex projects and offers opportunities for specialization in areas such as artificial intelligence and data analytics.

New technologies such as electric cars or renewable and ecological power supply systems require fundamental research in electrical (energy) engineering. DC grids (used in batteries, hydrogen systems, or to distribute and transport electrical energy), and power electronics are the latest technologies aiming to provide a green and environmentally friendly energy supply.

Mechanical engineering is a tried and tested course of study that is in tune with the times with its many modern trends such as simulation, lightweight construction and bionics. The development of ever lighter and at the same time highly stressed components in automobiles, aircraft or in the manufacturing or plant industry requires the use of sophisticated, innovative calculation, simulation and analysis methods. This course of study opens the door to the fascinating world of modern mechanical engineering research and development.

Graduates of the Bio- and Environmental Engineering degree program are involved in various current topics. The course offers a unique combination of science and technology to address the challenges of our time and develop sustainable solutions.

New products do not come to life by coincidence or spontaneous flashes of inspiration. They require innovation, product & engineering managers who find ideas tailored to customer requirements, evaluate and select them correctly, and support their successful implementation.

The Academy’s intensive, two and a half week programme combines sophisticated theory with hands-on practical experience in engineering, informatics and natural sciences. In addition to knowledge transfer in these fields, social, cross-cultural and gender aspects are covered and discussed during lectures and workshops.

The master's degree program in Data Science and Engineering with two specialization options in biomedical data analysis or data analysis in Marketing and production is not only focused on the technical and mathematical aspects of data science. It also prepares graduates for their future career as a data scientist by deepening their interdisciplinary knowledge from the application domains.

The Master's degree program in Environmental, Process, and Energy Engineering provides comprehensive knowledge to design both existing plants and new concepts in a sustainable manner. Graduates have excellent career opportunities in the field of "Green Technologies". Economic and law topics taught in the curriculum round out the master's program from a fundamentally sound and international perspective.

Master Engineering Responsible AI-Systems are increasingly revolutionising various societal sectors, presenting us with the urgent task of designing these systems responsibly. Consequently, the demand for highly qualified professionals who can operate at the intersections of computer science, sustainability and ethics is steadily rising.

The Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering offers students an education that enables them to develop innovative, high-quality software, without being restricted to a specific application domain. This requires creative problem-solving using the latest methods and tools. The course goes far beyond pure programming, as it covers the entire software lifecycle: from problem analysis to design, implementation with a wide range of programming languages and testing, to maintenance and further development.
