When studying Environmental and Recycling Technology at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences, you will learn to analyse environmental systems and think in terms of material cycles.
In specialised Seminars, numerous Laboratory practicals and Excursions your theoretical knowledge is deepened in a practical way.
During the Environmental and Recycling Technology degree programme, you will learn how to answer the following questions, for example:
How can we preserve nature and the environment for future generations?
How can we extract new raw materials from waste?
How can materials be recycled successfully?
How can complex waste such as electrical appliances be used as secondary raw materials?
What technologies need to be used to recycle electrical appliances?
How is biogas produced from biological waste?
How is a wastewater treatment plant designed?
How do you extract phosphate from wastewater, sewage sludge or liquid manure?
How is energy recovery from waste realised?
How are recycling plants planned and designed?
