What excites me about my degree program is the combination
of natural sciences, technology, and sustainability.
Thanks to the broad education, I was able to further develop
my interests in a targeted way and find my specialization in
environmental engineering. The hands-on teaching and the
welcoming, close-knit atmosphere in Wels provide the ideal
environment to actively contribute to solutions for future
ecological challenges.
