Science and engineering are vital tools in developing sustainable solutions to today’s problems, not only in technology, but also in domains like ecology, economics and society.

The Department of Sustainable Systems Engineering (INATECH) consists of a partnership between the University of Freiburg and the five local Fraunhofer Institutes. This offers you unique opportunities to combine fundamental academic learning with the latest research and practical experience.

This international Master’s programme provides in-depth engineering skills in:

  • Sustainable Materials and Energy Systems
  • Networks and Resilience
  • Circularity Engineering

While mandatory elective modules ensure that you gain knowledge in all three of these areas, you are free to focus on one of them and delve deeply into your favourite research fields. In addition, you can also gain interdisciplinary knowledge in natural resources and climate change, as well as sustainable economics, technologies and societies thus acquiring a holistic understanding of sustainability.


Disclaimer
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.

Central Academic Advising Office

The University's Service Centre Studies - Central Student Advisory Service (ZSB) provides information and advice on all questions that may arise prior to, at the beginning of, and during a course of study. If you are seeking subject-specific advice in addition to this, you can also contact the respective subject academic advisor.
