Sustainable Energy Systems (B. Sc.)

Attention: The degree programme is currently still in the planning stage

The program will only be introduced once it has been approved by the Thuringian Ministry of Education, Science and Culture.

The interdisciplinary program in Sustainable Energy Systems optimally prepares you for a career in which you can advance the energy transition. You will not only learn about all aspects of renewable energies, but also gain insights into more general, overarching concepts of sustainability and the circular economy. Thanks to the high proportion of project-oriented modules, you will learn in a practical way how development and research projects are carried out. The program also prepares you directly for a subsequent master's degree, in particular the master's programs in Renewable Energy Technology, Electrical Energy Systems, or Electrochemistry and Electroplating.

Practical experience during your studies: The practical aspect runs through the entire program, beginning in the first and second semesters with laboratory courses in physics, chemistry, and electrical engineering. In “Sustainable Development,” also in the first semester, local sustainability problems are analyzed and solved in a project-based manner. In the third semester, a practical project on sustainable energy communication is planned. Through research projects and project work in the last two semesters, students learn and apply the implementation of natural science and engineering projects in the field of sustainability, with the project work in the last semester leading directly to the bachelor's thesis.
