Air Quality Control, Solid Waste and Waste Water Process Engineering (WASTE) at University of Stuttgart

About

The Air Quality Control, Solid Waste and Waste Water Process Engineering (WASTE)Â Master of Science programme is a four-semester international English-taught programme at the University of Stuttgart. In the first semester, students attend five out of six compulsory modules (advanced modules) concentrating on the fundamentals of environmental and process engineering. These modules lay the foundations for the specialised areas and lectures of the second and third semesters. In the second semester, students attend the sixth compulsory module and choose two out of three specialised areas: Air Quality Control, Solid Waste, orÂ Waste Water Process Engineering. Each specialised area consists of one core module, two elective modules, and practical work or an industrial internship. Depending on the individual study plan, additional elective modules,Â a student research project and/or an industrial internship can be taken in the second and third semesters as well. The individual study plan enables students to develop their professional profiles in accordance toÂ their own interests and needs. Furthermore, itÂ allows them to either broaden their studies or to specialise. The modules are supplemented by excursions andÂ practical work within the research facilities of the university institutes. An adviser ensures that each individual programme is efficient and goal-oriented. The fourth semester is dedicated to the Master's thesis, which can be done at the University of Stuttgart,Â at a company, or at another university/research facility. Students without prior German language proficiency have to participate in German courses throughout the programme. If students are exempt from the German language courses, other module(s) with equivalent credits have to be taken instead. These can be selected out of a broad catalogue of key qualifications. Students who are proficient in German may also choose additional electives taught in German. Upon successful completion of the programme, students will be awarded a Master of ScienceÂ degree (MSc). Additionally, it is possible for the students to conduct the second year of studies within the frame of a double degree programme with the Universidade Federal do ParanÃ¡ in Brazil.
