About this programme
The specialisation in "Repository Safety" is another cornerstone of the Master's degree programme in Sustainable Resources and Energy Supply. As an additional pillar, it purposefully complements the specialisations in "Raw Material Extraction", "Recycling" and "Energy", and it expands the topic of the sustainable use of raw materials and energy sources to include the aspect of protecting future generations from the harmful effects of ionising radiation from radioactive waste. This is an interdisciplinary, practice-oriented and internationally-oriented course of study, and all lectures are held in English. By integrating scientific and engineering skills with socio-political concerns, the specialisation provides graduates with comprehensive analytical, methodological, evaluation and problem-solving skills that open up a very broad professional field of activity. The specialisation is structured over four semesters. In the first two semesters, students learn the fundamentals of the field of final disposal, and in the second semester, they are introduced to additional topics from the disciplines of raw materials engineering and geosciences. The third semester offers a mobility window in which students can choose between spending a semester abroad, working on research projects, excursions, industrial internships or thematic lectures offered at the RWTH university in the scope of final disposal. This structure allows students to specialise according to their interests and to deepen their education in specific areas of their choice. The fourth semester is reserved to complete both the Master's thesis and a professional internship at institutions that are active within the field of final disposal.
