About the Program

The constant climate change threatens humanity – not only in Germany but also worldwide. The important global societal challenges such as resource scarcity, energy transition and compliance with climate goals demand experts with the ability to work for the implementation of sustainable development. With energy consumption rising sharply worldwide, the responsibility for future generations in terms of sustainability and preservation of natural resources is also growing. Without energy, a modern world like today would be inconceivable. A transition of our current energy system based on fossil fuels to a system based on renewable energies is a necessity for the future of mankind. In the "International Energy Engineering" Master's degree programme, you will learn the engineering contexts and concepts of resource-saving energy generation, energy conversion, energy management, storage and distribution in an international environment. This will give you expert knowledge in all areas of environmentally friendly energy topics. You will deal with the potentials, economic efficiency and production of environmentally friendly energy sources such as solar power, wind and water power, and biomass as well as the use of biotechnology for energy production and the integration of these resources into modern energy supply systems. If you already have a Bachelor's degree in an engineering programme and are interested in making a global contribution to environmental protection and sustainability as well as gaining in-depth knowledge and communication skills in the context of sustainability, the "International Energy Engineering" Master's programme is just right for you. During the course of your studies, you will mainly work and research in the field of environmentally friendly energy supply.
