Innovative, ecological and affordable building materials are the basis for CO2-neutral or climate-neutral construction and refurbishment, which is currently being promoted by legislators and municipalities and also demanded by society. The fact is that the construction sector accounts for a significant proportion of CO2 emissions, generates a large proportion of gross waste in Germany and consumes a lot of resources. On the Bachelor's degree programme in Sustainable Building Materials Technology (held in German) at the THI's Sustainability Campus in Neuburg, you can actively work at the interface of construction technology, economic and environmental issues and improve the sustainability of building materials in the process!
What can I do later with the "Sustainable Building Materials Technology" academic study programme?
There is a wide range of employment opportunities with building materials manufacturers, in the construction chemicals industry and with large construction companies: You can use your knowledge of building materials technology, sustainability and innovation management to work as a developer, in marketing, as an EHS manager and in sales, but you can also work as an expert for associations, in the public sector or as a test engineer in institutes.
Experts in sustainable building materials are contact persons for the quality and environmental management of building materials manufacturers, take over technical management in the building materials industry or go into research to make building materials even better in the future. Think about it: Insulation material for buildings used to be made of polystyrene, today there are numerous innovative and sustainable alternatives. In the past, the wrecking ball came and everything went to landfill, today we create new building materials from this material.
