Overview

The Circular Engineering course from Maastricht University prepares you to be the engineer of the future. In a circular economy, resources are reused and waste is minimised. Both are needed to create a long-lasting healthy planet and a strong economy. Circular engineers play a key role in the transition towards the circular economy as they have the knowledge and skills to design, develop and optimise products, processes and services to enhance circularity for a sustainable society and industry.

Your future

Graduates will have a solid background in engineering, combined with in depth knowledge of chemical engineering, biotechnology or engineering physics, depending on your concentration in year 3, with knowledge on circularity and sustainability within these fields. Your selection of electives further allows you to look across existing boundaries and to connect different disciplines and stakeholders. Circular Engineering graduates have a versatile skillset in offering technical solutions that aid the transition towards a circular economy.
