Description

The international master’s programme Power Engineering aims to convey knowledge of sustainable power supply. The main focus of teaching centres on the concept of safe, affordable and environmentally friendly energy generation as one of the most urgent global challenges of the 21st century. The programme cooperates closely with regional and national power system operators, utilities and manufacturers in order to ensure practically oriented training, which enables students indepedently conduct research and development activities at the forefront of the field. The programme covers the entire spectrum of power systems in the field of traditional as well as renewable energies.

The intention of the study programme is to train and develop a network of experts which extends from Europe to the emerging energy markets throughout the world. Finally, the programme will establish a connection between universities and industry which will not only open career opportunities to our graduates, but will also contribute to reaching the EU goal of boosting the competitiveness of European economies.

Within the programme Power Engineering we offer two different branches of study:

• Electrical Power Engineering
• Power Generation from Fossil and Renewable Fuels

Professional Fields of Activity

• Academic and industrial research and development;
• Design, manufacture and sales of technical products in the power industry and supply utilities field as well as in the fields of power generation, transmission, distribution and application.
• Planning and development work in alternative uses of energy resources
