Using energy cleverly, conserving resources
Energy and process engineering deals with the question of how raw materials and energy can be converted efficiently and used sensibly - for industry and our everyday lives. For example, in the production of food, medicines or clean drinking water.
This is not just about technology, but also about responsibility: modern processes help to conserve resources, reduce emissions and protect the climate.
On the Bachelor's degree course, you will learn how materials - such as water, air or chemical substances - and energy are processed in technical systems. You will learn how to plan, control and optimize these processes.
To do this, you should have an interest in mathematics and scientific subjects such as physics, chemistry and biology - as well as a curiosity for technical contexts.
This is how the course works:
In the Bachelor's degree course in Energy and Process Engineering, you will first receive a solid foundation in mathematics and engineering methods - supplemented by content from energy and process engineering as well as an introduction to programming. Important basics from chemistry are also on the curriculum.
From the sixth semester onwards, you can set your own focus in process engineering or energy technology - through compulsory elective modules that match your interests.
In laboratories and a 16-week internship, you will apply your knowledge in practice and gain insights into everyday working life. You will complete your studies with a Bachelor's thesis. If you want to continue your studies after this, you can focus on your own content in the Master's degree course.
Before studying:
You need a six-week basic internship for the course - i.e. practical experience, for example in a technical company. You don't have to have completed it before you start your studies, but you do need to provide evidence of it by the end of the 6th semester at the latest. We recommend that you do the internship before you start your studies. This will not only give you a more relaxed start, but also your first insights into the practical side of things.
During your studies:
You will apply your knowledge practically in a variety of laboratories and the 16-week specialist internship and gain further insights into everyday working life.
