Sustainable Energy Engineering

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

As a graduate from the Sustainable Energy Engineering degree programme you will develop and optimise technologies in different areas of sustainable energy conversion, such as batteries, fuel cells, photovoltaic or wind and hydropower plants. By establishing the technical prerequisites for the storage and distribution of energy, you will design and plan plants in order to use energy in a sustainable and efficient manner. You will also analyse and evaluate plants under aspects of energetic and economic sustainability and develop processes for optimised energy and resource use. The program takes an interdisciplinary approach to energy topics, from energy generation to its transport and use, and draws on the disciplines of mechanical engineering, chemistry, electrical engineering and economics. Students can specialize in one of three sub-areas: '(Electro-)Chemical Energy Engineering', 'Physical Energy Engineering' or 'Energy- and Resource-efficient Processes'.
