Jobs and Career

The combination of elements from the humanities and natural sciences gives the Leuphana University Lüneburg’s Environmental Sciences major a profile unique within Germany.

Graduates are in demand as knowledgeable specialists within a growing job market in sustainable business and the sustainable organization of our society.  You can start and have an impact in many occupational fields within technology, economics and the sciences. Environmental conservation is not the only occupation typical for graduates, others include sustainable development, as well as working for environmental agencies and a growing number of research institutes.

Graduates enter into the fields of renewable energy, environmental management, environmental research, industrial research or engineering firms (site remediation, environmental planning or substance evaluation). Other potential employers include large corporations, who engage graduates in staff positions or public relations work.

The choice of minor allows for specialization in a specific discipline and adds further qualifications, which expand the student’s potential field of work.
