These are the admission requirements for the Bachelor's in Environmental Engineering

In the Bachelor's distance learning course in Environmental Engineering at IU International University, you can enrol if you provide us with your secondary school leaving certificate (general university entrance qualification), your subject-specific university entrance qualification (technical college entrance qualification), or the subject-related university entrance qualification.

Alternatively, you can enrol without a secondary school leaving certificate. Enrolment without a secondary school leaving certificate at IU is possible under the following conditions:

• You have successfully completed an advanced training course, such as a training course to become a State-certified Business Administrator.
• Or you have completed a vocational training, such as training to become a Business Administrator. Following your training, you have worked in this profession full-time for at least 3 years. If your training does not match the thematic focus of the distance learning course in Environmental Engineering, you will first complete a trial course before being formally enrolled.

Study Content & Modules: This is the Study Schedule in the Bachelor's Programme Environmental Engineering

The bachelor's programme at IU International University is modular. A module usually consists of 5 credit points (ECTS) and concludes with an examination achievement, such as an exam or a written assignment. You complete your bachelor's degree step by step - and even largely determine when you want to complete which module.

In full-time studies, you can structure your study plan, for example, as follows:

• 1st Semester: Introduction to Scientific Work, Basics of Mathematics, Representation: Basics, Basics of Chemistry, Applied Ecology: Fundamentals, Project: Applied Ecology and Climate Change
• 2nd Semester: Private and Public Construction Law, Collaborative Work, Basics of Physics, Land Use, Limnology of Lakes and Watercourses, Project: Renewable Energies
• 3rd Semester: Surveying, Intercultural and Ethical Action Skills, Construction: Basics, Basics of Building Materials, Waste and Urban Wastewater Management, Project: Flood Protection and Watercourse Renaturation
• 4th Semester: Sustainable Building Construction and Engineering Ecology, Seminar: Geoinformation, Hydraulic Engineering, Environmental Analysis, Applied Ecology: Specialisation, Project: Bioindication and Environmental Monitoring
• 5th Semester: Environmental Microbiology, Sewage Technology and Wastewater Treatment, Representation: CAD, Applied Soil Science and Contaminated Site Remediation, Project: Environmental Engineering, Elective Module A
• 6th Semester: Elective Module B, Elective Module C, Bachelor's Thesis

What's special about the IU distance learning programme: the many possibilities to deepen your studies with interesting elective modules. In the Environmental Engineering bachelor's programme, you choose a total of 3 specialisation modules:

Your second specialisation module is chosen from these topics: Construction Business Administration and Management, Foreign Language English, Foreign Language French, Foreign Language Italian, Foreign Language Spanish, Global Journalism and Writing Workshop, Tools in Media Pedagogy, Computing and Programming with Python, Communication & Conflict Management, Communication and PR, Leadership and Design Thinking, Negotiation, Practical Project: Environmental Engineering, Project Management, Social Media Marketing I, Statics and Structural Mechanics.

Your third specialisation module is chosen from these topics: Construction Business Administration and Management, Foreign Language English, Foreign Language French, Foreign Language Italian, Foreign Language Spanish, Geodesign, Global Journalism and Writing Workshop, Tools in Media Pedagogy, Computing and Programming with Python, Climate Change and Resilience, Communication & Conflict Management, Communication and PR, Landscape Architectural Design, Leadership and Design Thinking, Negotiation, Practical Project: Environmental Engineering, Project Management, Renewable Energies, Social Media Marketing I, Statics and Structural Mechanics, General Studies, Urban Planning, City and Traffic Planning.

Study Concept: How the Part-time Study Programme in Environmental Engineering at IU Works

The online study programme in Environmental Engineering at IU International University can be flexible to fit your life and daily routine as best as possible. For example, you can choose from 3 study models: In the full-time study, you need a total of 6 semesters, i.e., 36 months until you graduate with a bachelor’s degree. In part-time study I, you study for 8 semesters until graduation. Or you can opt for part-time study II and take up to 12 semesters to complete your bachelor’s degree.

With each module registration, you receive study materials from IU as printed study booklets. Of course, all materials are also available digitally. The IU Interactive Books are innovative learning scripts enriched with video clips and quiz questions at the end of a lesson. Depending on the module, the study materials are supplemented with podcasts, live tutorials, and video content in the form of so-called Shortcasts. You can access the IU Interactive Books through the practical IU Learn App.

Many modules also offer virtual teaching events, allowing you to interactively engage with your fellow students and lecturers.

A particularly convenient and flexible feature is the option to take module exams in the form of online exams. You can take an online exam 24/7, 7 days a week when you feel best prepared, for example, for a construction module. Additionally, we operate about 40 exam centres in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland where you can also take your exams in-person traditionally.
