In contrast to the IMAT M.Sc. study programme, which is taught over four semesters at the Environmental-Campus Birkenfeld, the IMAT M.Eng. offers a German-Japanese double degree programme which is taught in the 1st and 2nd semester at the Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU) Japan. This partner university of the Institute for Applied Material Flow Management (IfaS) is one of the most prestigious universities in Japan.
The 3rd semester is taught at the Environmental-Campus Birkenfeld and includes a four-week internship in addition to lectures, seminars and excursions. In the 4th semester, students work on their Master's thesis in companies, scientific or political institutions. To support the students in their search for internships and masters thesis positions, IfaS uses both a network of companies in the environmental technology sector and it´s very good contacts to research institutions and ministries.
