Profile

Along with the basic theoretical education, courses provide comprehensive cognitive knowledge and relevant skills in environmental and analytical chemistry as well as in chemical process engineering. At higher grades students are encouraged to work independently. Subjects of general education will lead the students to a general qualification for university entrance (Matura).

Professional skills

The educational focus on environmental matters was newly designed in 2003 and qualifies future alumni in process and environmental engineering. Students will particularly be qualified in:

- waste disposal
- exhaust air treatment
- recycling
- development of environmentally friendly chemical processes and reactionsgeneration of life cycle assessment
- supervision of manufacturing plants in the chemical and food industries
- management of analytical laboratories.

The scope of work will broaden with the rising ecological awareness and the increasingly strict legislation concerning the use of chemicals.

University Education

After a successful graduation students are entitled to attend a university, college, academy or advanced technical college (Fachhochschule). If students choose to attend an advanced technical college (Fachhochschule) they will receive credit for relevant courses at the HTL Dornbirn.
