Energy Engineering - Master

The Master’s program in Energy Engineering offers a choice of two specialization tracks: The first specialization must be subject-specific and therefore selected from Group 1. The second specialization may also be selected from Group 1 or, if you prefer an interdisciplinary option, from Group 2.

Furthermore, by the end of the Master program, either an industrial internship or compulsory elective modules totalling 15 ECTS must be completed. The industrial internship provides an insight into the development, production and manufacturing technology as well as the operational processes of companies in the field of energy technology. The compulsory elective modules can be found online in C@MPUS in the module handbook for the degree program. The procedure and content of the internship must comply with the ‘Internship Guidelines for Mechanical Engineering’ [de]. In addition, students must prepare an internship report, which must be graded as ‘successfully completed’ in order to receive the 15 ECTS credits.

For a longer stay abroad, you can participate in one of two double Master’s programs:

• Double Master’s Program “Energy Engineering – Sustainable Energy Systems” with Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden
  • Further information on Chalmers (PDF) [de]

• Double Master’s Program “Energy Engineering – Renewable Energy”
  with the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena (UPCT), Spain
  • Further information on Cartagena (PDF) [de]
    This file is not digitally accessible. If you are unable to view it, please contact the program administration.

Admission to and participation in both programs are governed by the academic regulations of both universities. Only students enrolled in the Master’s program in Energy Engineering at the University of Stuttgart are eligible to participate. Applications are accepted once a year with a deadline of December 15. The admissions committee for the Master’s program in Energy Engineering is responsible for the selection process.

For more information about the double Master’s programs, please visit our webpage on double degrees.

If you have any questions, please contact the Dean’s Office or the study program management.

In addition to the double Master’s programs, you can spend one or two semesters abroad through an exchange program or go abroad for a research stay, language course, internship, or summer school. The International Office (IO) provides all the important information you need in group counseling sessions.
