They develop efficient and resource-saving processes and comprehensively evaluate issues related to conventional and renewable energy supply. They also incorporate economic, legal, and social aspects into their implementation. Master's students conduct practical research and development projects with industrial partners during their studies and benefit from the use of state-of-the-art technologies and tools.
In the field of energy and process engineering, master's students learn from leading experts in their field how complex systems and efficient processes for the conversion, storage, supply, and use of energy are designed, modeled, implemented, and operated. In the field of environmental engineering, students address the analysis, planning, and implementation of measures for environmental problems related to air, water, and soil and seek technical solutions to minimize the environmental impacts of exhaust gases, wastewater, and waste.
As a consecutive degree program, the Master of Science in Engineering for the Energy & Environment profile requires a successful bachelor's degree in mechanical, electrical, energy, or environmental engineering. Basic knowledge of advanced mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering-specific subjects such as mechanics, materials science, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics are important prerequisites for a successful master's program. Applications by prospective students with a different academic background will be considered under certain conditions.
The topics of energy efficiency and intelligent applications are increasingly gaining international attention. With the Energy & Environment profile, graduates are ideally equipped for this field. They have a wide range of career options. As a project engineer, project manager, or senior employee, you can find positions in research and development, the mechanical and process industries, or the energy sector. Opportunities to start your own business (start-up) are also increasingly opening, as the demand for cost-effective energy systems is rising sharply.
