The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar in co-operation with the Asian Institute of Technolgy (AIT) and the University of Leeds, and under of the KNOTEN Weimar GmbH provvide the E-learning platform-based long-distance education model, which offers a Certified Course (CC EEM) additional to the Master Course on Environmental Engineering and Management (M.Sc. EEM). It is intended to promote knowledge transfer to emerging economies worldwide on the basis of the European higher Education and offer postgraduates the opportunity to specialise in Environmental Engineering and Management.
Enrolment conditions Bachelor or Master or comparable degree in one of the fields: Civil Engineering, Infrastructure Management, Water Management, Hydraulic Engineering, Hydrology, Construction Economics, Construction Management, Chemical Engineering, Supply and Disposal Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Environmental Technology, or comparable subjects. Applicants holding a uiversity degree in another engineering or science subject as those listed above can also be admitted to the course if they can prove relevant job experience of at least 2 years or provide an adequate degree. Sufficient knowledge of the English language will be necessary. Practical experiences in the nemed fields are desirable.
Graduates will be responsible for environmental engineering issues, planning, design, development, operation, management and maintenance of urban technical infrastructure. Important professional fields will be the infrastructure fields water supply, urban drainage, waste water management, transportation, waste and energy.
This postgraduate degree programme is targeted at graduates (from general universities or universities of applied sciences) who are already working or would like to work as experts in the field of Water and Environment at agencies, companies, associations, engineering firms, institutes and other organizations.
In cooperation with the University of Hanover, the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar offers this degree programme in Water and Environment as a joint correspondence course.
Both universities offer the programme independently with their own examination regulations. The full curriculum of the correspondence degree programme is comprised of courses offered at both universities. Students have the opportunity to take courses in Weimar or Hanover. Depending on how they put together their courses, they can design their programme according to their personal interests. Both universities have agreed to mutually recognize their students academic achievement and examination results as put forth in their respective examination regulations.
Students receive credit toward their masters degree for all courses completed at both universities.
