M.Eng. Technology of Circular Economy

Technology of Circular Economy at Hochschule Emden/Leer is a three-semester Master of Engineering worth 90 ECTS, taught entirely in English in Emden. You can start in the summer or the winter semester, though a winter start is recommended, and the thesis comes in the third semester. You gain specialist knowledge of circular economy technologies and learn to think in a resource-conserving way and work across disciplines. Two compulsory modules cover the circular economy, and electives include biodegradability and environmental impact, biopolymers, solid waste and recycling, recovery of recyclable materials, water reuse, soil remediation, energies and materials in biotechnology, and scientific computing. You learn to develop, apply and optimise sustainable processes and to evaluate environmental protection and waste avoidance. It suits graduates in biotechnology, chemical or environmental engineering, renewable energy or another technical field who want to work in process and environmental technology, recycling, engineering offices, research or the public sector.
