Embrace the notion that nature and technology can go hand in hand.  Your idea of the future is to actively bring these two worlds together. And your goal is to contribute creatively and ambitiously to what is probably the greatest challenge of our time. Because you have understood how important it is to harmonise natural and industrial processes. So that no harmful interactions occur. So that we can preserve natural habitat, biodiversity, and resources while ensuring the prosperity of our society.

As an aspiring engineer, you want to learn the art of navigating complex and seemingly contradictory tasks with agility. In the Bachelor's degree course in "Sustainable Systems Engineering", where we equip you with the tools. You will be taught all scientific and engineering fundamentals in a process-orientated way. In this way, your well-founded process thinking grows as the basis for sustainable technological innovations fostering a holistic understanding rooted in scientific and engineering principles.

At DIT, our vast campus network comprising 17 technology transfer centers positions you at the forefront of innovation. Here, you'll engage in ongoing projects from the outset of your studies, gaining invaluable real-world experience and learning directly from cutting-edge research. Our partnerships with esteemed companies and institutions such as SIEMENS AG, Glas-Allianz-Bayern, and the Society for Process Management underscore the relevance and support behind our programme.

career prospects

The generation of people with expertise who have often worked in a single company for their entire lives will be retiring in the next few years. So how can expertise be made transferable? The solution lies in a fundamental reevaluation and redesign of processes across all sectors, leveraging appropriate tools for seamless knowledge transfer. At the same time, this creates the basis for continuous improvement, integrated management systems and digital transformation. Your skills acquired from the "Engineering of Sustainable Systems" degree programme, extends beyond mere technical know-how, coupled with a high level of expertise in process management and its integration with practically all other staff functions, such as lean, energy, EHS, environmental, quality, product, R&D and innovation management, you will be ready to take over straight away. The world is open to you, make your mark on the world.
