Tropical Hydrogeology and Environmental Engineering

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Geosciences or in Civil or Environmental Engineering with sound knowledge in natural science (mathematics, chemistry, physics) and basic knowledge in Geosciences, Water Science/Engineering, and Environmental Science/Engineering.

Minimum standard period of study: 4 years.

The following minimum qualifications are required for admission:

1. Knowledge in mathematics and natural sciences, expressed by proven achievements in at least one completed module in mathematics (comparable to the module of "Höhere Mathematik" at TU Darmstadt), chemistry (general chemistry or inorganic chemistry), and physics (fundamentals of experimental physics). This previous knowledge cannot be compensated for by admission requirements.
2. Basic geoscientific knowledge, expressed by proven performance in at least four completed modules in the field of geoscientific fundamentals (in particular geology, mineralogy/petrology, geochemistry) and an applied geology subject (hydrogeology, engineering geology).
3. Basic knowledge in the field of water and the environment, expressed by proven performance in at least four completed modules from the subjects of environmental science and environmental engineering, pollutant behavior in water/soil/air, water management, water treatment, wastewater treatment, or comparable subjects.
4. The topic of the thesis of the previous study qualifying for admission must be from the geoscientific field or from the field of water and the environment.

Admission can be granted subject to conditions if, after the entrance examination, it turns out that the applicant lacks entrance skills that can be compensated for by catching up on requirements of no more than 30 CP.
