A special feature of the degree course is a holistic view of the energy sector: The importance and function of all renewable energies in a future system consisting fully of renewable energies is addressed. The holistic approach also means that, alongside the electricity sector, the heating and transport sectors have an equally important role to play. Forward-looking topics include e.g. hydrogen and electromobility.

Internationality is promoted by a variety of opportunities to complete a semester abroad at a European university – including Erasmus-funded opportunities. Students make active use of this offering.
