The degree courses are located in the department of Energy Engineering. Students have the opportunity to pursue interdisciplinary learning. The recipe for success of the engineering training is based on a combination of the latest findings in the field of applied research with modern learning and teaching methods. Under the scope of various projects, there are partnerships with the Jülich Research Centre and regional industry. The professionally qualifying Bachelor's degree makes it possible for students to enter the labour market or the department's Master's programmes.

To enhance the department's reputation and improve students' perceptions from the outside, the positioning of the courses offered and the research results in the international environment play an important role. Current internationalisation measures are included in the curriculum: The semester abroad, the writing of a final dissertation and the bilingual master's degrees, "Energy Systems" and "Energy Management and Computer Science", the internationally oriented degrees (AOS, use of e-learning platforms).

The department has modern laboratory equipment. During the degree course, modern components and systems are introduced and used in the many practicals. This reinforces the knowledge gained in lectures and exercises. The orientation and equipment for individual practicals is always adapted to keep abreast of new developments.

Students benefit from the close cooperation of the campus with the Jülich Research Centre, the Jülich solar institute and the affiliated institute NOWUM Energy. The teachers of the degree courses in Electrical and Electronic Engineering are involved in many research projects. They are conducted both within the institute and externally in conjunction with companies from the private sector. Students are integrated into research projects as student assistants.
