Energy Systems and Renewable Energies, B.Eng.
Energy supply in an efficient and environmentally friendly way is one of the most important issues of the 21st century. The current energy revolution is based on new concepts for the generation, distribution and consumption of energy. The degree course Energy Systems and Renewable Energies deals with answering these questions. The degree covers aspects such as climate-friendly power generation, intelligent distribution systems and efficient storage systems. Furthermore, the course addresses the interaction with new types of prosumers (producers + consumers) int he areas of electromobility and power to heat.

Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
Programme selection →What you study
During their studies, students acquire deeper knowledge in a range of different systems such as building energy systems, off-grid systems, industry supply systems and energy systems in general. The related energy sources are solar power, biomass, wind power and geothermal energy. The course also covers other important fields of studies such as cogeneration technology, heat pumps and energy storage systems for controlling energy generation and consumption capacities. As part of these different modules, the mechanical and electrical engineering aspects that were introduced in the first semesters are specifically deepened.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
The demand for qualified specialists in the field of energy systems in general and in the area of renewable energy forms in particular is enormous, as there is currently a lack of suitably qualified experts.

Requirements and application
| Previous education | A school certificate that gives access to university in Germany — directly or after a Studienkolleg. |
|---|---|
| Language | English B2 — confirmed by a certificate when you apply |
| Application | uni-assist (VPD) + the university, winter semester until 15.07 |
The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 3Application uni-assist (VPD) + the university until 15.07uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 4Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
