About the Program
The Master's degree course in Sustainable Energy Systems in Mechanical Engineering at HAW Hamburg teaches broad-based expertise in sustainable energy provision and efficient energy use. The first two semesters are dedicated to increasing the breadth and sophistication of the methodological repertoire by expanding mathematical and scientific competencies, teaching overarching principles and placing knowledge on a more abstract level. Students gain in-depth expertise in specific technologies such as wind power, fuel cells and cogeneration, with emphasis on energy efficiency of drives, gas turbines, plant systems and buildings. The third semester is dedicated to the Master's thesis, which tackles a real-world industrial problem either at HAW Hamburg or in a business setting.
