Renewable Energies (graduate)

The advanced degree in Renewable Energies deepens knowledge gained in a related bachelor’s program and, where applicable, professional practice. Students typically focus on a specific field, such as renewable raw materials and bioenergy, though some master’s programs cover a broad spectrum of renewables.

The program concludes with a second, fully qualifying university degree.

Renewable Energies is also offered in dual study formats and as part-time programs.

Core modules, e.g.

• Electric grids – steady-state network calculation
• High-voltage transmission engineering
