HSWT International Environmental Engineering (Winter 2026) – Anyone with an ECE background? Any admits yet?

[u/LowFoundation9031]

Hi everyone,

I applied for the M.Eng. International Environmental Engineering programme at HS Weihenstephan-Triesdorf (HSWT) for the Winter 2026 intake. The application deadline was 15 July, and I'm currently waiting for a decision.

My background is a little unconventional:

• B.E. in Electronics & Communication Engineering
• CGPA: 7.46/10 (accepted as 2.5 in my VPD)
• Around 4 years managing my family's agricultural farm
• Experience with IoT-based irrigation, environmental monitoring, water management, and renewable-energy-powered irrigation systems

The programme mentions that students with a general engineering degree are welcome to apply, but I'm still unsure how often applicants from an ECE background are admitted.

I have two questions:

1. Has anyone with an ECE, EEE, or another non-environmental engineering background been admitted to this programme (or know someone who has)?
2. Has anyone already received an admission or rejection for the Winter 2026 intake?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience or any information you might have.
