Energy Technology and Renewable Energy

Wie bringen wir erneuerbare Energie genau dorthin, wo sie gebraucht wird? Wie speichern wir Strom aus Sonne und Wind? Und welche Rolle spielen Batterien, Wasserstoff, intelligente Netze und moderne Leistungselektronik?

In the bachelor’s program in Energy Engineering and Renewable Energies , you’ll explore the technologies that are crucial to the energy supply of today and tomorrow. This program focuses not only on individual energy sources but also on the interplay of the entire energy system: from the conversion of renewable energy through storage and electrical grids to its efficient use.

From the very beginning, you’ll combine theory with practice. Through lab work, exercises, and projects, you’ll learn not only how technical systems work, but also how to analyze, develop, and improve them. Step by step, you’ll build the engineering expertise you need to actively help shape the energy transition.

During your studies, you’ll learn how modern energy systems work—from individual electronic components to smart grids. You’ll explore the conversion, storage, and distribution of energy and become familiar with various renewable energy technologies. First, you’ll build a solid technical foundation. Later, you’ll be able to choose your own areas of focus and delve deeper into the topics that interest you most.

Energy Engineering and Renewable Energy sounds exciting, but you want to find out first whether a technical degree program is really right for you? In that case, you can take actual courses during the orientation semester and get to know various technical degree programs.

Your advantages:

• Customized course schedule with modules from one or more degree programs
• Insights into the Content and Methods of a Technical Degree Program
• Opportunity to take exams and earn academic credits
• If you start your studies at a later date, you can have successfully completed modules credited toward your degree

During the winter semester, you can take courses such as Computer Engineering, Laboratory Practice, Programming, and the lecture series on Energy Technology and Renewable Energy, among others. Click here for more information about the orientation semester.

The study plan provides an overview of the structure of the degree program. The module handbook provides information on the content of the individual modules. The study and examination regulations form the legal basis of the degree program. Questions about the content of the course will be answered by the course director Prof. Dr. Bettina Friedel.

After earning your bachelor’s degree, you can either start your career right away or further deepen your knowledge by pursuing a master’s degree. Coburg University of Applied Sciences and Arts offers a variety of advanced technical degree programs for this purpose. In addition, your bachelor’s degree also grants you access to relevant master’s programs at other universities. The Project Master’s program at Coburg University of Applied Sciences and Arts offers a unique opportunity: Over the course of several semesters, you’ll work on a scientifically challenging project that can be conducted at the university or in collaboration with an industry partner. You’ll receive ongoing academic guidance and have the chance to immerse yourself deeply in your own area of interest.
