7/15/2026The focus of the bachelor program in Economics & Sustainability is on the economic analysis of sustainability. This is based on the three-pillar model of economic, ecological and social sustainability of the so-called Brundtland Report of the United Nations. Familiarization with scientific thinking and an actively designed learning process strengthen students' specialist knowledge and powers of judgement and create an awareness of individual responsibility in society. At the beginning of your studies, you will deal with a variety of methodological content, for example statistics, mathematics or computer science. With the progression of your studies, you will acquire the skills to transfer this basic knowledge into a comprehensive understanding of interdisciplinary contexts and processes - with an in-depth focus on sustainability, competition analysis, the organization and regulation of infrastructure sectors or the analysis of environmental-economic problems. The special feature of the bachelor program in Economics & Sustainability at the Technical University of Berlin is the link to engineering. It enables you to acquire knowledge from the fields of economics and sub-areas of sustainable engineering. Like every other bachelor program at TU Berlin, applicants must possess a university entrance qualification certificate to apply to the Economics & Sustainability program. In general, the Abitur serves as the university entrance qualification certificate. If you do not have a formal university entrance qualification, you may still be able to study at TU Berlin if you can provide proof of certain professional qualifications. The Economics and Sustainability bachelor program is taught in German. If you are applying with a foreign school-leaving certificate, you must provide proof of German skills at a specific level. As some courses/modules are offered in English, it is useful to have some English skills. However, it is not a condition to being admitted for studies. As this study program is significantly composed of content from math and statistics, you should have a basic knowledge of these areas. If you have taken these subjects as part of your Abitur, you will have an easier transition to this degree program, but they are not a formal requirement for admission. The bachelor program in Economics & Sustainability is divided into three areas: the compulsory area, the compulsory elective area and the elective area. In the first semesters of the course, you will receive a broad foundation in economics as well as all the necessary methodological knowledge in mathematics, computer science and statistics and an insight into the basics of business administration. You can then specialize and deepen your economic knowledge on the basis of the three pillars of sustainability in the elective course. The fourth pillar on sustainability and technology gives you an insight into the engineering sciences. In the free elective area, you take modules that can be selected from the range of courses offered by academic universities or you can complete an internship here. You complete your studies with a bachelor thesis, in which you present the knowledge you have acquired using a specific application example. There is a so-called study plan for the bachelor program in Economics & Sustainability, which represents a recommended course of study within the standard period of study of six semesters. It serves as an example of which modules should be taken in which semester. The ideal course plan is not compulsory, but shows a sensible structure of the degree course. The study plan can be found in the study and examination regulations or on the degree program website. The current version of these regulations always applies to applicants. The bachelor program in Economics & Sustainability consists of various modules. A module combines curriculum content relating to a certain topic. A module includes various study and teaching formats such as lectures, practical tutorials, seminars, and practical projects. Students are required to earn a specific number of credit points and complete certain coursework and assessments in each module. You can find a module list which offers a current overview of all the modules in TU Berlins module transfer system (MTS). In this module database you have an overview of which modules are mandatory for your degree program and which are elective. Detailed module descriptions provide information about the content, learning objectives, participation requirements, workload, type of assessment, and much more. The module list is based on the study and exam regulations. The free elective area of the bachelor program in Economics & Sustainability includes an internship, which should last a minimum of 8 or a maximum of 12 weeks. Alternatively, practical modules can also be taken. However, it is recommended that you opt for the internship. Detailed information about the internship can be found in the Internship guidelines. Some parts of the curriculum can be completed through semesters and/or internships abroad. You can find further information on the faculty website website, the TU Berlin International Office (study abroad) and Career Service (internships abroad) webpages. In the Economics & Sustainability study program, you acquire theoretical and practical knowledge and skills. You learn to think logically, analytically, and critically and are able to analyze technical economics issues using your power of judgment and other learned techniques. A particular focus of the course is on the analysis of sustainability in an economic context. You will also acquire an awareness of an individuals responsibility in society. With the completion of the bachelor degree in Economics & Sustainability, the foundations have been successfully laid for a possible continuation and deepening of the scientific examination of economic aspects of sustainability, e.g. in the master program "Economics & Sustainability" at the TU Berlin. However, numerous career prospects are already open to them. These lie in particular in private companies in the environmental, transport, energy, health and social, trade, industrial, consulting and financial sectors; in regional, supra-regional and international environmental, health, regulatory and antitrust authorities, but also in social, economic and political organizations at national and international level, as well as in economic research institutions.
