About the Program
The two-year master's program in energy systems engineering at the Gelsenkirchen campus of the Westphalian University of Applied Sciences is conducted jointly by the three Gelsenkirchen disciplines of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and environmental and building services engineering, with the cooperation of the Ruhr Master School and the Bochum University of Applied Sciences. The study program imparts the ability to "think" in traditional as well as in novel energy systems from the producer to the consumer by applying scientific methods. The aim is to be able to design energy systems in their interdisciplinary entirety in a technically and economically efficient manner. The educational goal is to produce scientifically and application-oriented trained engineers in energy technology with the ability to recognize innovation potential in energy production, conversion, transmission and utilization and to develop beneficial technical solutions. The program structure includes compensatory courses in the first semester, further basics in modules such as computer-aided engineering mathematics, heat transfer and field theory in the second semester, and individual specialization in the third semester. The program concludes with the master's thesis and colloquium in the fourth semester.
