- First statute amending the examination regulations for the Bachelor's degree programmes of the Faculty of Engineering at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences
UEN
with specialisations in environmental and recycling technology, geotechnics
...environmental engineering?
Environmental engineering helps companies to work sustainably and economically through innovative technology. The focus here is on resource conservation, the generation of renewable energy, the recycling of materials and the preservation of biological diversity.
Due to the profiling, the focus is either on geotechnical engineering or environmental and recycling technology.
You can study this degree programme in the traditional way or work side by side with a practice partner right from the start - including a job alongside your studies. Just get in touch with us!

Are you interested in environmental protection and are you looking for a technical degree programme with a scientific focus? Then the Environmental Engineering degree programme at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences is just right for you. Here you can expect a practical education that not only provides you with theoretical knowledge, but also offers you numerous opportunities to apply it directly in modern, well-equipped laboratories. Exciting internships and practice-orientated courses will give you valuable insights into the application of environmental engineering processes.
On field trips, you will familiarise yourself with large-scale plants and see first-hand how resource-saving technologies work in practice. The degree programme is technically demanding and prepares you to develop innovative solutions for a sustainable future. After graduating, you will have a wide range of career prospects, be it in engineering offices, resource management companies, research institutions or public administration. With your knowledge, you can actively contribute to making our environment more efficient and advancing sustainable technologies.
It is a degree programme with a clear engineering and technical focus. The two specialisations Geotechnical Engineering and Environmental and Recycling Engineering represent the main directions in the investigation, identification and remediation of environmental problems.
In the Environmental and Recycling Technology specialisation as an engineering discipline encompasses process engineering, physical, biological, chemical and thermal material conversions as well as knowledge of process sequences, e.g. recycling, wastewater treatment and apparatus and plant engineering. It is used both in the production of industrial goods and in the recycling of materials. Process engineering is characterised by a scientific approach.
The educational objectives are orientated towards regional as well as supra-regional and international needs of the private and public sector. The degree programme comprises a combination of compulsory and elective modules and can be completed in two specialisations after the engineering fundamentals.
The first part of the programme (semesters 1 and 2) teaches the basic engineering knowledge. This includes engineering mathematics, physics, chemistry, materials science, technical mechanics, electrical engineering and, of course, environmental engineering. The second stage of study (semesters 3 to 6) is characterised by the chosen specialisation and is aimed at the targeted development of specialist expertise.
In the Geotechnics specialisation The basic methods of civil engineering are taught in relation to the special requirements of construction in soil and rock. Starting from engineering geology, approaches to the planning and realisation of geotechnical structures are developed, taking into account mathematical-physical relationships. The course is characterised by a strong connection to real projects.
The additional interdisciplinary programme (economics, law, foreign languages) guarantees a competent and career-orientated profile as a Bachelor of Engineering.
The ideal applicant will have a general or subject-specific higher education entrance qualification or technical college entrance qualification and be interested in environmental and climate protection, environmentally friendly planning and the sustainable development of our immediate environment from a technical perspective.
Interest and a good understanding of STEM subjects are an advantage; however, these can also be taught via customised courses at the beginning of the degree programme.
When applying for a Bachelor's degree programme, you must upload a simple copy of your higher education entrance qualification (Abitur certificate or other suitable certificates in PDF format) after registering in the applicant portal.

Vocational training or study...?
Just can't make up your mind?
Who says you have to choose?
We have the right thing for you!
The StudiumPraxis programme combines the advantages of an academic degree with the benefits of in-depth practical phases in a company. The company accompanies you as a practice partner throughout your entire degree programme. While you study according to the regular curriculum, you gain practical experience with your practice partner during the lecture-free period. This gives you a concrete perspective early on of what your professional career could look like after graduation. The company training allowance will provide you with financial support from the start of your studies.
As a graduate of this practice-intensive degree programme, you will have a high-quality academic degree (Bachelor) and tailor-made content from the company. This will equip you with the theoretical and practical knowledge you need to join the company.
Practical training
✅ Personal support & optimal learning conditions
✅ Outstanding career opportunities
✅ Attractive place to study
This degree programme will provide you with a sound education in a forward-looking field - practical, sustainable and with excellent career prospects! 🚀
Are you an international student applicant but do not yet have direct access to study in Germany?
Then we offer another option for acquiring the admission requirements for a Bachelor's degree programme at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences: the fee-based Certificate programme "HSNgo" and the subsequent university entrance examination.
In two semesters, "HSNgo" offers a German course as well as general and subject-specific preparation for the university entrance exam.
It's easy to secure your place on your desired degree programme online!
Our Campus Management System HISinOne makes it possible: Simply upload all your application documents in PDF format to the corresponding fields in the online portal.
And if you still need to submit something, that is No problem! You can easily send missing documents by e-mail to our Study Service Centre:

We know that student budgets are often tight. To help you finance your studies, we provide you with the following information at BAföG helpful tips on how to apply and ensure that your application is complete. You will also find important contacts there.
We want to support and encourage particularly talented and motivated students. Under Scholarships you will find information on various scholarship programmes. There are also other funding options, such as the "StudiumThüringenPlus" start-up grant, parental funding, child benefit and the opportunity to earn your own money through a student job.
Students in continuing education programmes can find all information on the Funding opportunities.
What is the difference between studying at a University of Applied Sciences (UAS) and at a „Universität“ (university)? At our University of Applied Sciences, you will receive much more support throughout your learning process than at a traditional university. We provide self-assessment questions to help you check your understanding, offer practical exercises to deepen your knowledge, and encourage a high level of interaction in lectures and seminars. This is very different from courses with more than 300 students.
