Program Overview
"The implementation of a sustainable energy system requires connected methods and models that provide companies, politics and society with the necessary basis for making scientifically sound decisions on the design of the energy system transformation. „Energy Engineering and Management“ enables the students to play an active role in this transition process"
The energy transition is associated with many challenges, such as an increase in the efficiency of energy conversion systems based on renewable energies and their integration into future energy systems, requiring e.g. the development of capable energy storage systems and an intelligent demand side management. Our Master´s program in Energy Engineering and Management provides a comprehensive understanding of present and future energy systems, and the complex interactions of their elements. Graduates are able to analyze and optimize the energy systems' operating efficiency, availability, and safety.
The master's program Energy Engineering and Management is divided into 5 engineering and 5 management modules of 2 weeks each, over a period of 15 months. The modules are followed by a master thesis written in the company (9 months) and often used as an innovation project for the company. The overall duration is approx. 20 months.
