Beschreibung
Sustainability is the key driver of our future development, especially when it comes to energy utilization and consumption. As natural resources are becoming increasingly scarce or more expensive, the sustainable use of energy is becoming more and more important. This degree program combines education in energy systems with regard to sustainable energy resources (solar, wind), hydrogen and battery technology and applications, e-mobility, energy efficiency, the decarbonization of the traditional energy system as well as the management of international energy-related projects. Special emphasis is placed on learning and working in multicultural teams.

Berufsfelder
The focus of the programme is built around the principles on how to manage the demand for safe, cost-efficient sustainable energy systems. Therefore, the curriculum contains courses that will enrich a students’ knowledge in areas such as the utilisation of sustainable energy resources, energy systems and distribution, both in terms of technical knowledge and practical skill development. Furthermore, courses covering topics such as the business of energy, legal frameworks, both EU and international regulations, and the ecological evaluation of energy flows will be examined in detail.
Due to the international scope of this programme, a part of the courses will be focused on international negotiation, intercultural communication and adaptation, and the development of language skills. Together with courses that will strengthen our students’ soft skills as well as a module on business administration, this study programme will enable graduates to produce, distribute and develop goods and consult companies in terms of projects in the area of power engineering and sustainable energy in an (inter)national field.
Graduates will be able to:
- Combine technical know-how with economic principles
- Implement and manage research projects according to modern management methods
- Consult banks/insurance companies on matters containing civil law, contract law, business law, patent law, competition regulations and liabilities issues
Graduates will work as (senior) Engineers or project leaders in the field of energy efficiency, in which they will be able to identify potential energy-saving and/or energy efficiency or project planning, and the realisation of sustainable energy power plants. Graduates of this programme will be able to find jobs in:
- Energy-intensive industries such as utility companies
- Energy consulting
- Energy Engineering for systems (e.g. in power plants or photovoltaics)
- Fields of energy technology
Graduates’ tasks could be:
- Planning and understanding large-scale energy generators, working with wind-power, hydro-power
- Identification of energy saving potential through optimisation and recommendation of appropriate products/systems
- Implementation of energy efficient projects
- Operating and maintaining energy systems
