The focus is on forward-looking technologies such as renewable energy systems, smart grids, energy storage, and innovative energy conversion solutions. You will learn how sustainable concepts can be implemented technically and integrated economically.

You will work on solutions that enable a sustainable and energy-independent future – applying your expertise across business, technology, and society.

Your Career Opportunities

The Master’s degree in Sustainable Energy Systems qualifies you for demanding specialist and leadership roles in the fields of energy and sustainability. You will graduate with in-depth knowledge in energy technology, energy economics, and digitalisation – and be equipped to actively contribute to the energy transition.

Potential career fields and roles include:

  • Energy consultant for companies, municipalities, or private clients
  • Project manager for renewable energy projects (e.g. solar, hydro, biomass, geothermal)
  • Research and development engineer in sustainable energy technologies
  • Energy analyst focusing on consumption optimisation and efficiency
  • Environmental and sustainability manager in the private or public sector
  • Manager at an energy utility company with a focus on renewables
  • Academic or researcher at universities or research institutions
  • Engineer for building systems and energy efficiency

With this degree, a wide range of career opportunities awaits you – in industry, consulting, research, or the public sector.
