Programme Objectives:

One of the major challenges of the future will be to ensure an environmentally friendly, sustainable and secure energy supply. Renewable energies are already nowadays a spectacularly growing industry with an enormous development potential in the regional, national and international context.

The Bachelor’s programme “Renewable Energy Technologies” provides you with the latest developments and research issues in the field of energy supply with renewable energies. The main field of study is the technical product development in terms of energy technology and engineering with a focus on solar energy technology or bioenergy technology. At the same time you will be acquainted with other areas of application like wind and geothermal energy.

Programme Overview:

The regular period of study consists of seven semesters. The programme is divided into two modules. The introductory module covers four theoretical semesters. It includes lectures and practical courses in energy technologies like energy economics and renewable energies; energy conversion in power engines and machines; energy distribution, grid connection and energy storage. The second module includes two theoretical semesters and a practical semester. At the beginning of the sixth semester students will choose one field of study with a focus on Solar Energy Technology or Bioenergy Technology.

General subjects like Rhetoric and Moderation Techniques will complete the technical course offer.
