The Master's programme in Power Engineering deals with power plant engineering and electricity generation. Electricity generation originates principally in large thermal and hydraulic power plants and is increasingly complemented by decentralised generation technologies providing renewable energies. Students are able to understand innovative methods, technologies and structures in the area of centralised and decentralised power generation. The aim is to develop and apply strategies for ecological, inexpensive and sustainable energy systems.
Your profile
The Master's programme in Power Engineering deepens students' previous knowledge of energy technologies. It addresses students with a Bachelor's degree in electrical or mechanical engineering or a related field. It is a two-year high-level international Master's programme involving lectures in the fields of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, civil, geo and environmental engineering and information technology. It is entirely taught in English. Students are able to understand innovative methods, technologies and structures in the area of centralised and decentralised power generation. The aim is to develop and apply strategies for ecological, inexpensive and sustainable energy systems.
What you'll learn
As a graduate, you will be able to deal independently with complex projects in the area of power generation and supply. You will be familiar with power plant construction and technologies and will be able to interface with all associated disciplines. You will know the most important processes and methods relating to power generation, energy storage and transmission and will be able to classify and assess these. Your expertise will allow you to recognise innovations in the area of electrical power supply and to evaluate their potential. A special focus is placed on sustainable energy technologies.
When at work, you will always be conscious of the technical, ecological and economic dimensions of energy systems. You will have an understanding of the competitive energy market and will be able to apply economic assessment methods. Working in project teams, you will assume responsibility and coordinate interdisciplinary cooperation between various specialised areas.
The completion of the Master's programme opens up opportunities in the energy and power plant sectors. You will be able to take up a position in the manufacturing of both power plants and components as well as at energy suppliers. Further opportunities arise in the form of research positions.
