The programme is designed to provide students a highly-qualified specialisation in the field of energy technology. It is offered in the English language by Leibniz University Hannover (Germany) in cooperation with Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology (Finland).

The sector of energy technology is increasingly characterised by international and multinational collaborations. Thus, besides technical expertise, international experience is in demand. The Master’s degree programme in Renewable Energy and Electrical Power Engineering is offered to meet these arising requirements of internationality. Technical expertise is taught in an international environment.

Power Transmission, Electricity Market, Energy Efficiency, Energy Resources, Energy Society, Electrothermal Processes, Electrical Machines, Energy Storage, Thermodynamics, Fluid Machinery

The Master's thesis will be written at Leibniz University Hannover.

Courses are given as lectures, seminars, projects or labs

An internship is not integrated into the degree programme, but a longer break between the second and third semester allows students to complete an internship organised on their own initiative. There is the possibility of individual financial and organisational support for the (European) internship abroad.
