Power Engineering

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

Leibniz Universität Hannover Hannover · Lower Saxony Location: Hanover

About the Program

The switch to a sustainable energy system is the central challenge for our future and for the world climate. The regenerative generation of electrical energy, its storage, transmission and distribution plays a key role - as does efficient use - especially in the field of e-mobility. The need for excellent, interdisciplinary trained engineers is growing accordingly. The programme Power Engineering is an interdisciplinary bachelor's degree programme with equal proportions of electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Students receive a broad, scientifically sound education that is combined with practical aspects. The four-semester foundation studies primarily cover mathematical, scientific and technical fundamentals and deals with the sustainability aspects of power engineering from the beginning. The programme includes course content in electrical energy technology, thermal-mechanical energy technology, efficient energy conversion and energy utilisation, transformation of industrial processes, and renewable energy systems.
