Brief description

Electrical energy is the key to the energy transition and to technologies such as artificial intelligence.

In the Master's in Electrical Energy Systems, you will learn about the latest methods in energy, information and automation technology.

You will work on practical projects relating to grid stability, the integration of renewable energies, smart grids and innovative energy solutions.

You will implement your own ideas in interdisciplinary teams and will be closely supervised by experienced scientists.

The program is aimed at graduates oftechnical bachelor's degree programs as well as engineerswith professional experience.

After graduating, you will work worldwide in energy generation, distribution and transmission - for example

  • grid operators
  • Manufacturers of energy and automation technology
  • Consulting firms and research institutions
 
Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs ) comprise 17 interlinked goals that were set by the UN in 2015. They are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect our planet and enable all people to live in peace and dignity. The goals are seen as a blueprint for achieving a more sustainable future for all.

  • SDG 4 - Quality education
  • SDG 7 - Affordable and Clean Energy
  • SDG 9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure / Industrie, Innovation und Infrastructure

Application with German certificates and from educational institutions within the EU / EEA

Application with certificates from educational institutions outside the EU / EEA

Individual specialization options and the connection to current research topics make this degree program special.
