Safety and environmental protection are indispensable elements of any industrial activity. In a modern society, technical processes will only be accepted if the emerging hazards are identified and kept under control and if the environmental impact is reduced to an acceptable minimum. To achieve these aims, experts are needed who possess both an in-depth understanding of process engineering and specific knowledge of safety and environmental technologies.
- How it is organised
- The course is structured in four semesters with the three first semesters covering lectures, tutorials and lab work. The fourth semester is dedicated to the Master's thesis. " > PDF Download

From your country
General requirements for master's applicants. Rules change — confirm with the university and your local German mission.
🇮🇳 Applying from India
- An APS India certificate is mandatory before your visa appointment — processing takes weeks, so start it the day you decide to apply.
- Budget for the blocked account (€11,904 for one year in 2026 — verify the current amount with the German Embassy).
- IELTS/TOEFL is typically required; some universities accept a Medium-of-Instruction letter — check the official program page.
🇳🇬 Applying from Nigeria
- Proof of funds is usually a blocked account; open it early — transfers and verification take time.
- WAEC/NECO results are assessed via uni-assist for most universities; a Studienkolleg year may be required for bachelor's entry.
- Visa appointment slots in Lagos and Abuja book out months ahead — book as soon as you have an admission letter.
🇻🇳 Applying from Vietnam
- APS Vietnam certification applies to Vietnamese applicants — schedule the document check before university deadlines.
- Most universities want IELTS 6.0–6.5 for English-taught programs; requirements vary by program.
- Plan finances around the blocked account plus health insurance — both are checked at the visa stage.
🇧🇩 Applying from Bangladesh
- Document verification is strict: keep certificates, transcripts, and bank papers consistent and genuine — discrepancies sink applications.
- The blocked account is the standard proof of funds. You do not need an admission letter to open one, so set it up alongside your applications.
- Apply to several programs in parallel — visa processing in Dhaka can be slow, and an early admission letter buys you time.
Living in Magdeburg
A mid-sized Elbe city with two universities, a large English-taught master's offer, dorm rooms from about 195 EUR and a student community that already counts people from over 90 countries.
Magdeburg is the capital of Saxony-Anhalt, about 244,000 people on the Elbe, roughly halfway between Hannover and Berlin. It is not Germany's best-known student city, and that is part of the case for it.
