Study the most important resource of the future: energy
How can households, municipalities, and businesses continue to secure sufficient energy and heat? How can technology be combined with a sense of responsibility to advance the energy transition and climate protection?
In the Master’s program in Energy Engineering, you will learn about the concepts of energy conversion, storage, and distribution. You will examine the potential and economic viability of various energy sources (fossil fuels, nuclear energy, solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, and biomass) as well as their integration into the energy system.
After completing the program, you will be able to evaluate plant and utilization concepts for renewable and conventional energy technologies in terms of their energy performance and economic viability. You will be able to develop and optimize systems for a sustainable, environmentally friendly, and economically viable energy supply. You will also learn how energy engineering can contribute to environmental protection and resource conservation.
- The University of Stuttgart has a long tradition as a leading technical university with an excellent reputation among its industry partners
- It has developed a strong and close partnership with industry, particularly in the energy sector
- It is located in a vibrant innovation region that supports founders in launching their own technology startups
- Close ties with research institutions such as the Max Planck and Fraunhofer Institutes, the High-Performance Computing Center, and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) provide opportunities for interdisciplinary courses and thesis projects
If you’re considering studying energy engineering, you should be interested in:
- learning scientific, mathematical, and engineering methods for abstracting, formulating, and solving complex problems
- developing concepts and solutions for fundamental—and in some cases unconventional—problems, drawing extensively on other disciplines
- using engineering judgment to develop new and original products and processes
- planning and conducting analytical, model-based, and experimental investigations, critically evaluating data, and drawing the necessary conclusions from it
- familiarizing yourself with future technologies—both within your own field of specialization and in related fields—to investigate and evaluate new technical developments
