General information
The Energy Systems and Energy ManagementMaster programme takes account of the current and future demands resulting from the transition to renewable energies.
The increasing decentralisation of energy generation, the increased use of fluctuating renewable energies, and the task of coupling electricity, heating, cooling and mobility across all sectors represents a great challenge for intelligent energy management.
The programme has its roots in building services engineering and the curriculum of the full-time Master programme focuses on the interfaces between building, trade and industry and the electricity, gas and district heating networks of the public utilities, and the network-oriented operation of the systems.
The curriculum includes project management, corporate management, energy and heating technology with renewable, centralised and decentralised energy supplies through to plant simulation, automation systems, process management and facility management. Emphasis is also placed on energy management and energy sources of the future.
The material taught in the lectures is supplemented by independent study and the presentation of two pieces of project work from the subjects covered. In the third semester, students must write a Master thesis which deals with and consolidates their knowledge of a scientific topic; the work can be done either in an industrial company or at the university.
The Master programme may be taken immediately after a Bachelor programme, but is also open to engineers with practical experience as an advanced training programme.
