Bachelor in Engineering for Sustainability, BSc

The application deadline is 15 Jul · 15 Jan; tuition is No tuition fees; 300 EUR/semester.

This seven-semester bachelor's programme in Engineering for Sustainability centres entirely on project-based learning rooted in mechanical engineering, with a consistent focus on sustainable approaches to climate change and resource scarcity. Rather than traditional lectures and seminars, students work in teams in laboratories and in self-study, applying theoretical knowledge directly to practical problems. A mentor supports students closely in the first semester, during which several smaller projects introduce the project-based learning model. As studies progress, projects grow in complexity and challenge. Students shape their own learning paths, choosing to develop deep expertise in a specific area or a broader generalist profile. The sixth semester is devoted to practical work experience at a company or organisation in the field, and the seventh semester is reserved for the bachelor's thesis, which emphasises practical relevance and frequently involves collaboration with industry partners. The thesis concludes with an oral presentation. The programme is offered at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences in Kleve, Germany.
