Renewable Energies & Hydrogen Technology

Renewable Energies & Hydrogen Technology

Renewable energies and green hydrogen are regarded as key pillars of the global energy transition. But how can a secure and climate-neutral energy supply be achieved? The Master’s programme in Renewable Energies & Hydrogen Technology specifically prepares you for this challenge. You will receive a sound engineering education and learn to plan, evaluate and optimise complex energy systems holistically – from renewable energy generation and energy storage through to transport and conversion processes.

A distinctive feature of the programme is its focus on hydrogen technologies: electrolysis, fuel cells, by-products, infrastructure and industrial applications. You will gain an understanding of how hydrogen is used as an energy carrier in transport, industry and energy storage, and the economic and societal potential this offers.

The Master’s degree opens up a wide range of career prospects in energy companies, industry, engineering, research and consultancy.
