Description Contents Requirements

Sustainable long-term energy supply is regarded as the main challenge for mankind in the 21rst century. Fossil fuels like coal and oil may keep engines running and lights burning for some years to come, but growing energy consumption in a developing world will exhaust the known sources in the foreseeable future. Only by finding and exploiting economically viable ways of generating energy from renewable sources standards of living can be upheld and improved without further damage to our planets climate. Additional effects will occur via increasing employment along with social stabilisation.

This new study programme will give you the know-how and the tools necessary to participate in this task. Students will learn to understand the physics of power generation, distribution and usage by conventional as well as innovative methods including wind, tide, nuclear, solar, geothermic and biological production.

They will also get the qualification to design energetic logistics and efficient electricity grids.
A main feature of the Master of Engineering Renewable Energies is the combination of technical expertise with the competence to manage power plants and supply companies in an international competitive and politically sensitive environment. They will learn to act in a responsible way both from an economic as well as from an ecological perspective.

The programme includes lectures, exercises and e-learning as well as a high share of project work. Teaching staff consists of professors with long-time scientific and/or management experience as well as leading experts from the industry.

Target Group
The programme is designed for students with a Bachelor´s or Diploma degree in engineering or science with some professional experience and proven management potential and ambition. Successful candidates may look forward to worldwide career perspectives in the field of electricity, equipment manufacturing, consulting or with a regulatory government body.
