The course of studies imparts essential methods and knowledge of business administration and at the same time scientific and engineering basics. The students thus acquire a coveted technical and social interface competence. Typical topics in the focus “Renewable Resources” are, for example, the use of natural resources, climate change and an environmentally compatible supply of energy and biogenic raw materials. The students should be enabled to use their acquired know-how not only for the concrete solution of operational problems, but also to make their contribution to these questions of society as a whole. The combination of business and technical knowledge provided by the programme is particularly in demand.
