Energy Systems Engineering Master

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

The Energy Systems Engineering Master's program focuses on addressing the challenges of energy transition across electricity, heating, transport, and industrial sectors. The program deals with system integration and the design of new technologies needed to efficiently use fluctuating renewable energy. Students receive further engineering fundamentals and can choose between four fields of study to either expand their system-wide overview or deepen their focus in elective areas. The program includes two main fields of study: Electrical Energy System (focusing on generation, distribution, and use of renewable energy) and Thermal Energy System (dealing with decarbonization of thermal processes in power plants and industry). The curriculum includes engineering mathematics, control engineering, heat transfer, thermodynamics, sector coupling, and a project on energy system modeling in the third semester. The program concludes with a Master's thesis.
