Energy and Environment

In order to tackle climate change sustainably, the most advanced technologies are necessary – especially in the energy sector. The MSE in Energy and Environment trains engineers to meet this challenge.

With your comprehensive, interdisciplinary knowledge in areas such as energy, environmental and process engineering, you will be able to provide a pragmatic decision-making basis for energy and environmental technologies and systems. Above all, you can systematically analyse, describe, model and simulate complex technical processes across disciplines. This enables you to develop efficient and resource-saving systems and processes and, in addition, to provide sophisticated services. Your knowledge enables you to work in interdisciplinary teams, to lead larger projects and to take on management tasks in the fields of energy, process and environmental technology.

With a MSE in Energy and Environment, you will be able to take up a variety of positions in industry and the public and service sectors. You will be able to evaluate issues regarding conventional and sustainable energy generation, storage and conversion as well as energy distribution and demand-side management in a comprehensive manner. You will take into account the efficient use of natural resources and the protection of the environment.
