Energy and Environmental Engineering Master's program

• Completion of an engineering Bachelor's degree program with 210 ECTS
• With proof of 180 ECTS, the Master's program "Energy and Environmental Engineering" can be started with a preparatory semester

The Master's degree program teaches in-depth engineering knowledge and management methods as well as the ability to work independently in a scientific context as an additional core competence. In the Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency specialization, this mainly relates to sustainable energy generation processes, innovative energy storage technologies and the efficient use of energy.

The in-depth teaching content includes

• Thermal management of components
• Engineering Mathematics III
• Numerical fluid dynamics
• Efficient energy systems
• Electrochemical storage and hydrogen technology
• Determination of material data for working fluids
• Project management

The Energy and Environmental Technology project serves to perfect practical skills.

The Master's degree course provides in-depth engineering knowledge and management methods as well as the ability to work independently in a scientific context as an additional core competence. The focus of the Environmental and Radiation Protection course is on the environmentally friendly and reliable use of modern radiation technology in industry, research and medicine.

The in-depth course content includes

• Engineering Mathematics III
• Electrochemical storage and hydrogen technology
• Safety and reliability of plants
• Environmental and energy law
• Monte Carlo simulation methods
• Project management

The complex practical course in environmental and radiation protection serves to perfect practical skills.

• 1st - 2nd semester: Specialist studies, study semester at university

• 3rd semester: Master's thesis and its defense to obtain the academic degree "Master of Engineering". The Master's thesis can be written in an industrial company or at the university.

Master's program with propaedeutic semesters

• 0. semester: Propaedeutic semester (adaptation semester)
  The 30 ECTS still required are acquired in this semester. Students can choose individually from a wide range of subjects in order to acquire the necessary specialist knowledge.
