Renewable energy (University of Oldenburg)
From wind power to solar technology, the future belongs to renewable energies. Oldenburg University offers an international 18-month postgraduate programme in English that primarily targets students from developing countries. The training combines theory with practice and involves case studies from the energy sector.
Power systems and power economics (Münster University/RWTH Aachen)
The master’s degree course in electrical power engineering covers an interdisciplinary mixture of subjects including engineering, economics and law. This course of study – offered jointly by Münster University and the RWTH Aachen – aims to make young scientists and managers in the fields of engineering and natural sciences fit for the energy market.
Biobased products and bioenergy (University of Hohenheim)
Skills such as producing raw-material and energy crops and processing or converting them into energy are very much in demand on the labour market. They are the main focus of a bachelor’s degree course at the University of Stuttgart-Hohenheim. A sound knowledge of biology, technology, economics, mathematics, physics and chemistry is an important requirement for people who want to do this course.
Ecological engineering and planning (TU Munich)
Using natural resources, dealing with waste materials, cleaning up polluted rivers and lakes: these are the topics studied by students of this master’s course at the Technical University in Munich. Biology, landscape management and public-relations work are all on the curriculum.
Mobility and transportation (TU Braunschweig)
What will the cars of the future look like? How can we avoid unnecessary traffic? The bachelor’s and master’s study courses at the Braunschweig Technical University look into questions like these. The approach is interdisciplinary: the lecturers are civil engineers, communication technicians, economists and social scientists.
Industrial engineering (BTU Cottbus)
If you want to work at the interface between technology and economics, you can learn the principles involved by doing a bachelor’s degree at the Technical University in Cottbus. It provides knowledge in the fields of law, economics, the social sciences and engineering.
Automotive systems (University of Applied Sciences (FH) Esslingen)
The development of more environment-friendly transmission systems or new safety systems for cars: the English-language master’s degree programme at Esslingen University opens career prospects in these fields. The course of study is very practice-oriented, and students benefit from the university’s cooperation with the car industry.
Medical engineering (FH Nuremberg)
From computed tomography to respirators: the development of medical equipment and diagnostic procedures is at the focus of this bachelor’s degree course. Course components include electrical engineering, information technology, mechatronics and precision engineering.
Life science (Constance University)
Interdisciplinary natural science: alongside the classic subjects of biology and chemistry, this life science course covers molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, bioinformatics, immunology, pharmacology and medicine. The students learn how to examine molecular processes and will later have excellent career opportunities in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in biotech companies.
