MSc in Air Quality Control, Solid Waste and Waste Water Process Engineering
An international English-taught master’s programme focusing on environmental and process engineering solutions for sustainable waste and water management.
Best for:Best for engineering graduates with a background in chemical, civil, environmental, mechanical, or process engineering who seek interdisciplinary expertise in sustainable waste and water management solutions.
Overview
The Master of Science in Air Quality Control, Solid Waste and Waste Water Process Engineering (MSc WASTE) at the University of Stuttgart is a four-semester programme designed for students seeking expertise in environmental and process engineering. The curriculum combines foundational modules in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and environmental chemistry with specialised tracks in air quality control, solid waste management, and wastewater treatment. Students can tailor their studies through elective modules, practical work, and optional industrial internships, culminating in a master’s thesis. The programme integrates German language courses for non-native speakers and offers interdisciplinary electives to broaden academic horizons. Graduates earn a globally recognised MSc degree, preparing them for careers in research, industry, or policy-making in sustainable environmental engineering.
What you'll do
- Complete four compulsory foundational modules in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, environmental chemistry, and sanitary engineering during the first semester.
- Select two specialised areas from air quality control, solid waste and wastewater treatment, or ecosystems analysis for advanced study.
- Attend core and elective modules within chosen specialisations, including practical work or industrial internships.
- Develop an individual study plan to tailor your academic profile, balancing breadth and depth in environmental engineering.
- Conduct a master’s thesis in the fourth semester, which can be completed at the university, a company, or another research facility.
- Participate in German language courses if you lack proficiency, or choose additional interdisciplinary modules instead.
- Engage in excursions and practical work within university research facilities to apply theoretical knowledge.
