Program Structure

• First Two Semesters: The three-semester full-time programme is clearly structured and comprises 90 ECTS credits, building on the required 210 ECTS credits of the Bachelor’s degree. In the first and second semesters, students complete ten modules (50 ECTS), including eight compulsory modules on key topics in sustainable energy systems and two compulsory elective modules in the area of ‘Skills for the German Labour Market’. The focus here is on content such as international project management and the development of skills for business consultancy projects, which are specifically tailored to the requirements of the German labour market. A central element of the second semester is the project module (10 ECTS), in which students can choose either a practical or an academic focus. This practical module promotes the consolidation of the acquired professional knowledge and enables the application of theoretical content in real project scenarios in cooperation with the partner companies.
• Third Semester: Dedicated to completing the Master’s thesis and participating in a scientific colloquium, worth 20 ECTS credits. Additionally, students complete two elective modules (5 ECTS each) to further broaden their expertise.
