Circular Engineering Technical University of Leoben

Overview

Throughout the Circular Engineering BSc degree from Technical University of Leoben you will belong to a new generation of engineers. You will take control and critically analyse technological processes. Your goal? Closing material cycles and increasing efficiency, thereby minimizing our ecological footprint.

You will be proficient in the concept of circularity of material flows: from primary raw materials and production systems to the product right up to the manufacturing of quality-assured secondary raw materials by means of well-engineered recycling methods. This way, you will contribute towards designing processes along the material flow, from raw material extraction to recycling, in an energy- and resource-efficient manner, while minimizing the ecological footprint. After your Circular Engineering course of study, exciting tasks will be waiting for you in the development of new technologies, products, and materials, as well as in the development of energy sources and raw materials. You will be involved with the development of environmentally and socially acceptable value-added systems, wherever sustainable decisions are in demand.

Key facts:

In this bachelor's programme conducted in English, you will acquire the newest tools and techniques in the areas of technology, the sciences, sustainability, and economy. You will learn the basic principles of nature and how to recognise the complex relationships that drive our world. You will develop an in-depth understanding for production and material flow systems and learn how sustainability can be successfully implemented. As a prospective Circular Engineer, you will be able to combine these skills and apply them to tackle the challenges and global developments from different perspectives and develop innovative solutions. This way, you will make a valuable contribution towards setting up a sustainable circular economy.
