Solutions for the production of tomorrow - responsible and holistic
Have you ever wondered how we can make our future more sustainable? Do you want to develop products that are not only cool, but also environmentally friendly? Then the Circular Engineering degree programme is right up your street!
As a Circular Engineer, you will decide how products are designed, manufactured and recycled. You will develop innovative concepts and put bold ideas into practice. To do this, you need technical expertise, a feel for modern materials and an understanding of economic interrelationships. Sounds exciting? It is!
With us, you will learn more than ‘just’ mechanical engineering. You will immerse yourself in subjects such as technical design, bionics, environmental law and sustainable strategies and learn how to carry out life cycle analyses and combine technology with ethics. You will deal with current research topics ranging from innovative recyclable materials to future technologies. At the Repair Café, you will repair used items and give them a second life. Theory becomes tangible - and you actively shape the future.
And don't worry, previous knowledge is nice-to-have, but not a must!

Career Prospects
With your degree in Circular Engineering, many doors are open to you. No matter which one you choose, a versatile, future-proof and meaningful career awaits you.
You can develop sustainable products, design environmentally friendly systems or optimise recycling processes. Your knowledge of materials science and process engineering is in demand in the packaging industry, the pharmaceutical and food sectors and in recycling. Perhaps you will analyse how products affect the environment in life cycle assessments - from raw material extraction to disposal. Or you might ensure that companies comply with international environmental standards. Are you brave? Then set up your own start-up and develop innovative solutions for sustainable products and services. No matter which path you take, it's more than just a job - you'll be taking on social responsibility and contributing to a more environmentally and resource-conscious future.
Exciting tasks await you in the following areas:
- Product / plant development
- Production planning
- Life cycle assessment
- recycling
- Consultancy and conception
