Environmental management (FT)

To graduate from the degree programme in Environmental Management, you must:

• successfully complete all the classes and internships
• write a Bachelor’s thesis, which must be positively assessed
• pass the Bachelor’s examination

Your title on graduation will be “Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc)”.

At the end of the degree programme, our students have to write a Bachelor’s thesis. The thesis deals with a scientific, programme-related topic. For example, students can carry out a detailed literature review on a specific topic or write a practical thesis in collaboration with a company. They can choose the topic of their Bachelor’s thesis themselves or work on it in cooperation with a company.

The possibilities are very diverse: for example, our students can create environmental and sustainability concepts, analyse mobility flows or develop concepts to improve energy efficiency or logistics. Market analyses and economic considerations are also possible as part of the Bachelor’s thesis.

The Bachelor’s thesis must meet the degree programme’s specifications for academic work.

The Bachelor’s examination takes place after the successful completion of all six semesters. The examination is chaired by the head of the degree programme. One lecturer and the supervisor of the Bachelor’s thesis also sit on the committee.

The students first present their Bachelor’s thesis in a presentation. The committee then asks questions about the thesis and other relevant content from the degree programme and links to the final thesis. The ability to solve interdisciplinary tasks is tested.

After completing their Bachelor’s degree, students can continue their studies in three different Master’s programmes. The institute offers the English Master’s programmes Energy Technologies, Mobility Technologies or European Green Transformation. The international programme offers the opportunity to network with students from all over the world and to enter the international job market.

Our graduates can of course also attend other Master’s programmes at FH JOANNEUM and at other universities in Austria and abroad.

Of course, you can also go straight into working life after graduation and put the knowledge you have learnt into practice.
