Engineering on the highest scientific level for a sustainable future
Today engineers are required to be able to work on questions of energy change and to find the neccessary solutions for a sustainable future for the planet.
The research oriented Master’s degree programme CEP is designed to prepare graduates just for those tasks. Graduates are able to work as an engineer on the highest scientific level in industry or academia with regards to clean energy processes while focussing on energy technology and energy systems. Students are enabled to become experts in their chosen specialisation.
Scientific Environment
- The CEP programme is embedded in the Faculty of Engineering of FAU and is working in close proximity to local research centres such as the Helmholtz Institute for Renewable Energies, the Energy Campus Nürnberg, the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits and the Bavarian Center for Applied Energy Research e.V. thus creating a unique environment for research and innovation.
- Mandatory laboratory courses, the possibility to work side-by-side with internationally renown scientists who are leading experts in their field, a mandatory internship as well as the possibility to do the final thesis in a research center are one of the hallmarks of the CEP programme.
Broad prospects for a future career
Based in Erlangen and its sorroundings are many well-known stock companies, medium-sized enterprises including so-called “hidden-champions” and start-ups. The programme has developed contacts with internationally renown companies, partners in the industry and institutes in the region to do joint research. It thus offers an ideal sorrounding for innovation and future career planning in research, industry or other fields like consulting.
An international programme
The MSc. programme is entirely taught in English and therefore prepares students not only to communicate on work-related topics in English but serves as a melting pot for a truly international experience right here at FAU. Thus preparing graduates for a future job in a leading position in an international environment.
Interdisciplinary approach
A holistic approach to the topic is taken with specific attention being given to all aspects of climate change and related business transformations by exposing the students to the impacts and functionalities of the energy market, correlated socio-economic aspects, as well as ethical implications of technology upheavals.
