Overview Autumn 2016 will mark the start of the interdisciplinary degree program Sustainable Management of Resources, which was developed in partnership with companies and government agencies. Given the global social challenges of climate change, scarcity of resources, waste management and avoidance and the increasingly stringent environmental legislation associated with all this, the primary focus of the degree program is on designing and optimizing sustainable inter-organizational value chains in companies, from product development to disposal and recycling. Therefore the degree program combines engineering, natural sciences, methods of resource management, business administration and environmental law.Contact usContact us!Silke WiesbauerBarbara ZottlVienna BioCenterHelmut-Qualtinger-Gasse 2, OG3.F.071030 ViennaP: +43 1 606 68 77-3560 F: +43 1 606 68 77-3569nrm@fh-campuswien.ac.atMap Vienna BioCenter (Google Maps)Anrede Frau Herr Vorname *Nachname *E-Mail address *Nachricht *AbsendenIhre E-Mail wurde versendetDuration of course6 SemesterOrganisational formpart-time180ECTSLanguage of instruction German23Study placesFinal degreeBachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc)Application period for the academic year 2021/221st November 2020 to 31st May 2021tuition fee / semester:€ 363,361+ ÖH premium + contribution2 1 Tuition fees for students from third countries € 727,- per semester 2 for additional study expenses (currently up to € 83,- depending on degree program and year) What you can offer You wish to apply technical, scientific and business expertise to develop environmentally friendly solutions and products that are also profitable. You enjoy conceptual thinking, are open to innovative approaches and have a practical approach to tasks. You see identifying potential for improvement as a central challenge for your future career. What we offer you The degree program was developed on a needs-oriented basis together with production and waste management companies and government agencies. These companies and agencies will provide high-caliber experts as lecturers, support extensive internships and grant deep insights into their facilities and infrastructure through excursions. This network of companies and agencies will provide opportunities for research and development projects and will enable you to make valuable contacts for your future career already during your studies. The Vienna Biocenter, the top life sciences address in Austria, also provides the perfect learning atmosphere with its well-equipped lecture halls and laboratories for chemistry and microbiology. The degree program shares this FH-location with the bachelor's degree programs of Packaging Technology and the Biotechnology Department. In many occasions you will benefit from FH Campus Wien as a multidisciplinary university with interdisciplinary activities for example in the area of research and development, as well as events such as the Campus Lectures, public lecture evenings with prominent experts, that FH Campus Wien regularly invites you to join. What makes this degree program special? Interdisciplinary degree program for sustainability experts in businessFocus on comprehensive value chains from product design to disposal and recyclingCollaborations with production and waste management companies as well as authorities guarantee a practical orientation Given the global social challenges of climate change, scarcity of resources, waste management and avoidance and the increasingly stringent environmental legislation associated with all this, the need for practically trained experts for resource management and waste management who can go straight to work for companies continues to grow. A primary goal is to design sustainable products and processes and to coordinate them with one another such that resources in the entire value chain are used carefully and waste is avoided as much as possible or is used productively as recyclable materials. In addition, the degree program focuses on the needs of public institutions such as municipalities. The ability to think outside the box and pursue innovative approaches is crucial for sustainable results. This may even mean changing the existing business model and further developing everything from manufacturing to services. For example, a manufacturer of cleaning products containing non-biodegradable substances may additionally offer their use as a service and thus make the reduction an economic goal of their company. This increases the added value and is sustainable at the same time. What you will learn in the degree program In this degree program you will acquire technical and scientific fundamentals as well as the methods of resource management, a robust business administration education as well as know-how in environmental law.The curricular topics of study are “Methods of Resource Development”, “Law and Quality Management”, “Management” and “Sector-specific Resource Development”Special attention is given to the characteristics of packaging and food manufacturers, the chemical industry and commercial enterprises. Renewable resources play an equally important role in the degree program as a holistic view of the entire system.The central focus of the degree program is the ecological, economic and social dimensions of sustainability, which you will learn to integrate throughout the life cycle of a product, from development and production to distribution and disposal.A high priority is given to environmental legislation since the legal framework is often a driving force for companies to make product changes.
