degree programme

Description/content The Master's programme in Power Engineering focuses on power plant technology and power
generation. It comprises disciplines from both electrical and mechanical engineering. In the
programme, both "traditional" energy technologies and renewable energy technologies are
covered.
In the first and second semesters, core modules in electrical and mechanical engineering have to
be chosen, including thermodynamics, power transmission systems, and high voltage technology.
The third semester comprises more elective courses including subjects such as energy storage,
nanotechnology, and civil engineering. In addition, interdisciplinary subjects and a seminar are
part of the programme. Students also carry out a nine-week research internship at one of the
participating institutes in the second or third semester.
The programme is concluded with the Master's thesis which is completed at one of the
participating institutes during the fourth semester.
Applicants should have profound knowledge in one discipline (electrical or mechanical
engineering) and at least basic knowledge in the other one since the courses in the first semester
do not start at beginner's level, which may be quite a challenge.
