Since the academic year 2015/2016, Technische Universität Berlin has been offering the Master's programme in Energy Management (MBA) at the EUREF Campus in the centre of Berlin. The programme is designed for engineers, economists and lawyers who want to acquire in-depth, specialised knowledge in the field of energy management. It is a comprehensive management course for those planning a career in energy utilities, transmission system operators, energy-intensive industries, regulatory bodies or consultancies. Students gain technical, economic, legal and management skills tailored to the energy sector. They are prepared for management careers in leadership positions beyond the boundaries of their previous specialisation. In addition to sector-specific fundamentals, the programme provides leadership as well as project and innovation management skills. Strategic and operational planning, operations and controlling are taught in line with current and future practice. E-learning units and company visits (excursions) effectively complement the lectures. Renowned European academics with strong academic backgrounds and experience in executive education teach theory, report from the field, and supervise individual Master's theses. This full-time programme is designed for young professionals who aspire to leadership positions in international companies.
The Master's programme is taught over a period of three semesters. The first semester covers the technical, economic, business and legal foundations for management decisions in the energy sector. The second semester deepens this view and looks at innovative management practices, network-based utilities, investment decisions and regulation. The third semester is a combination of breadth and depth, with an emphasis on practical application in accordance with each student's individual interests. All semesters include lectures, tutorials and seminars as well as field trips, online practice materials and extracurricular activities. The Master's thesis, due in the third semester, concludes the programme.

Because the full-day class lectures take place only two to three days per week in the first and second semesters, professional activities may be exercised to a limited extent.
The Career Service at Technische Universität Berlin offers services for students seeking employment during their studies in Berlin as well as after completion of their degree programme. The regular excursions and company visits facilitate the student's orientation in the German/European energy sector.
Although the Technische Universität Berlin does not provide student housing, the Studentenwerk Berlin (a local non-profit student services organisation) offers a variety of housing options for students enrolled at educational institutions in Berlin. Accommodation is available through the Studentenwerk (http://www.studentenwerk-berlin.de) or on the private market. The rent for a single room in a student residence is approximately 300 EUR.
The internationally renowned Technische Universität Berlin (TUB) is located in Germany's capital city at the heart of Europe. The academic activities focus on achieving sharply defined goals: building a distinctive profile for our university, ensuring exceptional performance in research and teaching, providing our graduates with excellent qualifications, and a modern approach to university administration. The TUB strives to promote the dissemination of knowledge and to facilitate technological progress through adherence to the core principles of excellence and quality. Strong regional, national and international networking with partners in science and industry are an important aspect in these endeavours. TUB is an internationally renowned, research-intensive university dedicated to promoting science and technology for the benefit of broader society and committed to the principle of sustainability. The challenges and problems facing modern societies cannot be met on the basis of findings from individual disciplines. TUB is addressing these challenges with the aid of transdisciplinary collaborative projects. The establishment of important research partnerships in the context of the Excellence Initiative, the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the European Institute for Innovation and Technology, in addition to constantly increasing third-party funding for research projects, demonstrate the dynamic developments in this area. Prestigious science prizes and awards make these successes even more obvious; these include Alexander von Humboldt Chairs, Einstein Chairs, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prizes, and numerous grants from the European Research Council. Research for Innovation - a credo that TUB impressively implements. Its extraordinary profile as a technical university in association with its humanities, social sciences, planning, and economics programme is indeed an excellent breeding ground for strong interdisciplinarity. By combining basic and applied research endeavours, and with close links to partners in science and industry, university researchers tackle societal issues and develop forward-looking solutions. In close cooperation with EUREF AG, a new TUB campus has emerged on the property of the former Gasometer in Berlin's Schöneberg district and was inaugurated in October 2012. Companies and research institutes addressing the topic of "Intelligent city for work, research, education and living" are finding homes here. Through close cooperation between science and teaching on the one hand, and research and practical applications on the other, the EUREF Campus serves as a powerful test platform for a sustainable model city.
As the capital of Germany and Germany's largest metropolis, Berlin offers unparalleled opportunities for students to enrich their extracurricular activities with culture, history, travel, and professional development. One of Europe's principal artistic centres, Berlin offers drama, musical performances and art exhibitions, as well as world-class cultural events such as the Berlinale film festival. Historically, Berlin is a fascinating city, bearing witness to Germany's Imperial Period, serving as the cultural epicentre in the Twenties, and being resurrected as a divided city during the Cold War. Now a vibrant symbol of German reunification, Berlin has been a focal point for European historical trends and movements. Only a short trip from Germany's northern coastal regions, and serviced by international train and air connections, Berlin also offers excellent opportunities for inner-European travel. Berlin is most strongly influenced by the presence of the German government, but also serves as a major European financial centre. For law students, this blend offers a range of opportunities for political and business internships, close contact to a broad variety of multicultural, political and diplomatic groups and associations, as well as good connections to major law firms active in the region. These unique opportunities in cultural and public life enable students to develop both personal and professional interests.
