It is possible to choose the master option with an integrated internship after one year of studies.

Master “Water Technology” with pre-courses (120 CPs)

Graduates of non-engineering sciences have to start with a technical preliminary course. They have to pass the preliminary courses to enter the regular Master`s program. The duration of the preliminary course is one semester.  

Preliminary course technical sciences:

• Module 1+2: Technical Essentials I:
  •  Mathematics for Engineers I+II, Material Sciences I, Mechanics
• Module 3+4: Technical Essentials II
  • Constructive Design, Electrical Engineering, Production Engineering, Material Sciences II, Language

Our academic year is divided into eight 5-weeks-blocks. For the entire duration of studies, these blocks build on each other with regard to content. Studies begin with a 14-day introductory module. Targeted learning is on offer from day one with a university-wide preparatory phase to acquire basic study skills.
