Renewable energies and energy efficiency (Master)

Solar energy, wind and hydropower are playing an increasingly important role in the supply of electricity and heat. The Master's degree course in Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency is therefore particularly forward-looking. Here, students who have already completed a degree in an engineering or technology-oriented natural science specialize in actively shaping the energy transition. Whether industry, politics or research - graduates are qualified for a wide variety of professional fields.

In this Master's degree course, students are first given an overview of the key technologies in the field of renewable energies and energy efficiency. In more in-depth courses and in the Master's thesis, students have the opportunity to specialize further - in a specific area or with regard to the interaction of different technologies in energy systems.

Unique in Europe, students at the University of Kassel can choose from more than 150 interdisciplinary courses. The departments involved are mechanical engineering, architecture, urban and landscape planning, ecological agricultural sciences, civil engineering/environmental engineering and electrical engineering/computer science. The North Hesse region is also home to a unique concentration of leading industrial companies, research institutes and educational establishments.
