Security & Safety Engineering Bachelor

With Security & Safety Engineering, we offer you a wide range of training that prepares you for responsibilities in all areas of safety and security. Fires, accidents, sabotage, break-ins or natural disasters – where do such risks lurk and how can people, the environment and companies be protected from them? We investigate these questions and turn you into a security professional.

Security has many aspects. The special feature of this degree progamme is your training in our seven security labs for chemistry, hazardous substances, applied security technology, radiation measurement technology, IT security, safety and security. With our practical applications, you'll quickly find your personal favorite that you want to deepen.

Some of our students already know which career direction they want to take. Others are still finding out. In any case, you can customise your studies with our electives and the internship semester, which you spend in a company. 
You can find a list of compulsory elective courses and modules here.

In your final assignment, the bachelor's thesis, you'll deal academically with a topic that corresponds to your specialisation and career aspirations. This topic is often developed during the practical semester, as this is where you can make your first important contacts – for the thesis and often also for later jobs.
