FAQ
As a result, graduates of the Master’s Programme in Environmental Engineering at the University of Innsbruck possess the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities to develop solutions for technical tasks in environmental engineering, traffic systems, geotechnical engineering, hydraulic engineering, surveying and energy-efficient building.
They are able to correctly apply their highly specialized knowledge, drawing on the latest findings from various areas of environmental engineering, to develop and implement innovative solutions and to engage in discourse with colleagues. Graduates possess the competence and critical awareness to independently realize socially and environmentally sustainable projects.
Environmental engineering encompasses a wide range of areas, such as residential water management, resource management, waste and disposal technology, spatial and environmental planning, traffic planning, traffic technology and traffic route engineering, geoinformatics and remote sensing, technical equipment in buildings, hydrology and hydraulic engineering, energy and ecoinformatics, environmental and process engineering. The Master’s Programme in Environmental Engineering at the University of Innsbruck focuses on those areas of these disciplines that are strongly connected to civil engineering.
Graduates of this environmental engineering programme are capable of working in planning, building and operations contexts for companies of various sizes and in capacities involving planning, projection, analysis, advising and implementation. They can pursue self-employed professions but also professional activities at construction companies, public agencies and organizations, interest groups, media and at teaching and research institutions.

Environment & Climate
Anyone wishing to study the environment, biology, ecology, geography or sustainability, and who is interested in climate change, biodiversity and mountain regions, will find the right degree programme in this field at the University of Innsbruck.
Degree programmes in this field at the University of Innsbruck are closely linked to the Centre for Mountain Research (Research Area: Mountain Regions), one of the eight Centres of Excellence in the the university’s key research areas.
Here, researchers from various disciplines work together to investigate how mountain regions are changing as a result of climate change. Students can contribute to this research through courses, dissertations and projects.
Under the umbrella of the PEAK (Perspectives on Engagement, Accountability and Knowledge) , the University makes this expertise publicly available, and in the student-run Green Office, students can help shape sustainability on campus themselves. Once a year, the Green Office organises a Sustainability Week.
