Not only at a University of Applied Sciences do you have the opportunity to train as an environmental engineer, you can also study environmental engineering with a Bachelor's degree at Federal Institutes of Technology (FITs).

You have the option of studying for a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering at the ZHAW on a full-time or part-time basis. If you study part-time, you study on fixed days of the week so that you can continue to work.

A Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training with Federal Vocational Baccalaureate does not necessarily have to be completed in a technical field for the Bachelor's degree course in Environmental Engineering UAS. Examination-free admission is also possible in a biological or chemical profession. With a Federal Vocational Baccalaureate in another field with a Federal Vocational Baccalaureate, proof of at least one year's work experience in the environmental field must be provided, as is the case with a Baccalaureate or Specialized Baccalaureate.

You will need six semesters of full-time study to complete your degree in Environmental Engineering BA and eight to twelve semesters of part-time study, depending on the intensity of the course.

In the Bachelor's degree program in Environmental Engineering, you choose a specialization in one of five areas: Nature Management; Renewable Energy and Eco-Technology; Agriculture and Horticulture; Urban Ecosystems; Environmental Systems and Sustainable Development. If you are interested, you can add a minor, for example in species knowledge, field diagnostics and analytics, life cycle assessment and label management and others.
