Supply Engineering VIA Supply Engineering is a 3½-year bachelor programme of engineering, which includes a 5-month work placement within the 5th semester. The programme is targeted directly at the needs of the water, wastewater and district heating sector.
The programme is projectoriented and the students learn to reflect and critically evaluate theories, methods and practices and to assess their suitability in solving different projects and tasks. From 1st to 4th semester the students work mainly with the pipe system; however they also gain some basic
knowledge of the supply industry in general as well as the organisation and technical facilities in waterworks, sewage treatment plants and heating plants.
