Clean Energy Processes

Do you want to make your own contribution to an environmentally-friendly future? Do you want to learn from specialists doing the most innovative research in their respective field of engineering? Then the CEP programme is just right for you! At a glance The research oriented Master’s degree programme in Clean Energy Processes (CEP) is designed to prepare graduates to work as engineers in industry or academia with regards to clean energy processes while focussing on energy technology and energy systems. Students are enabled to become experts in their chosen specialisations. CEP programme flyer Course outline The Master's programme in Clean Energy Processes provides graduates with the skills required to successfully address and work on answers for current and future questions about energy systems and energy conversion and use of energy in all types of industry. The intensive study of these topics together with the associated laboratory internships, complementary modules in energy technology, process engineering, plant and equipment engineering with a view on socio-economic aspects allows students to gain a profound knowledge of clean energy processes. Additionally, students can benefit from the proximity to cutting-edge research conducted by the Helmholtz Institute for Renewable Energy (HI-ERN) with its focus on sustainable, and cost-effective utilisation of renewable energy. The programme will therefore provide students with broad career opportunities in national or international industry as well as in academia. Course content The study plan includes: Specialisation modules for the two specialisations energy technologies and energy systems Compulsory and elective modules (for example, energy technology, process engineering, chemical engineering, plant and equipment engineering, material sciences and economics) Seminars Laboratory courses Internship Master’s thesis Scientific Environment The CEP programme is embedded in the Faculty of Engineering of FAU and works in close proximity to local research centres such as the Helmholtz Institute for Renewable Energy, the Energy Campus Nürnberg, the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits and the Bavarian Center for Applied Energy Research e.V., thus creating a unique environment for research and innovation.
