Engineers in energy and process engineering specialize in the fields of energy and material conversion. They provide substances and energy of all kinds for industry and our daily needs in sufficient quality and quantity. With the corresponding technologies of the future, they ensure a safe and clean environment, the conservation of limited resources and climate protection.
Energy and process engineers* should have an interest in mathematics and science subjects such as physics, chemistry and biology. In addition, a technical understanding and interest in technical contexts are an advantage.
As sought-after specialists, energy and process engineers work in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, the food, paper and textile industries, apparatus engineering, energy conversion and many other sectors.
The interdisciplinary bachelor's degree qualifies students for direct entry into the profession, but can also be supplemented by a consecutive master's degree.
In the seven-semester bachelor's program, the focus is initially on basic and method-oriented training in mathematics and the engineering sciences, supplemented by energy and process engineering aspects - including basic programming training. At the same time, students are familiarized with the fundamentals from chemistry that are essential for process engineering. In the later course of the program, from about the sixth semester onwards, the study can be deepened by elective modules from the fields of process engineering and energy technology. Particularly in the consecutive Master's program, students can set their own priorities in terms of content. A variety of laboratories and the 16-week internship allow students to put their acquired skills into practice. The program concludes with the bachelor's thesis.
Admission to the studies requires a basic internship of 6 weeks. The internship must be proven by the end of the 6th semester at the latest. Since there is relatively little time for the basic internship during your studies, it is strongly recommended that you complete it before your studies.
