Power Engineering and Renewable Energies

Power Engineering and Renewable Energies are important key pillars of our country. Nothing works without energy! Renewable energies are vital, especially facing climate change. The power generation has to be managed with renewable energies. The transfer, distribution and invoicing is simplified with new technologies and structures, called smart grids. Applications like e-mobility have to be integrated. Every part has to be represented in a network via the Internet.
Female and male engineers with an electrotechnical background are part of one of the most popular professional groups in demand in Germany. Salaries and future career opportunities could not be better currently.
Our students will participate in a multilateral course of studies. The programme gathers the fields electrical engineering, computer science, power engineering and e-mobility.

This course has a duration of 7 semesters including one practical study semester. The study course combines small study groups, individual support, intensive practice orientation and close contacts to the regional industry.
The first year is taught in English and combined with intensive German language courses. From third semester onwards language of instruction is German only.

Beginning of study without sufficient knowledge of German is possible. This course can also be taken if the German Language Examination for University Entrance of Foreign Applicants (DSH) has not yet been taken. This is made possible by German courses integrated in the regular study plan. Mandatory German courses take place both during the lecture-free period and during the semester.

Application requirements: a university /higher education entrance qualification is required. Admission is based on the applicant´s academic and professional performance in the subject concerned. Alternatively, good SAT/ACT scores in Mathematics and/or Physics will be acknowledged.
Language requirements: TOEFL 80 points (IBT) or IELTS>6.0, unless English is the native language or official language of instruction.

Studies start beginning of September before the first semester with a three-week language, culture and orientation programme. In the following semesters, language instruction is an integral part of the degree programme. In addition, all-day language classes in three-week sessions take place during the semester breaks.
Support for international students: welcome event, buddy programme, tutors, accompanying programme, speciallist counselling, cultural and linguistic preparation, pick-up service, support with student housing and visa matters.
