Renewable energies, climate protection measures, recycling, cleantech or circular economy are challenging concepts of our time. With a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Energy and Environmental Engineering you have an optimal starting position for an exciting engineering job in these areas.
From the very first semester, you will acquire the necessary knowledge and skills required in order to build a successful professional career in the various branches of the energy and environmental technology sector.
Thinking in an interconnected way and preserving resources

As part of my degree, I learned to think holistically and in an interconnected way in order to preserve resources and promote renewable energies. This helps me in business as well as in my private life.
Degree
Energy engineering and the efficient use of resources are the core subjects covered by the degree. Both involve interdisciplinary issues that are also dealt with in conventional engineering study programmes. As part of this degree, the major subject groups dealing with energy and environmental technology are combined to create a distinct and new programme of study focussed on the core topics.
Specialisations
In your last year of study, you give your degree a profile by acquiring specialist knowledge in one of the three branches of the Energy and Environmental Technology degree programme. The classes for the three majors take place at three different Schools of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, whereby students are supervised by a lecturer at the respective location when completing project work and their bachelor thesis.
