Master of Engineering (M.Eng.)Hydrogen Economy and Technology Management

The challenges posed by the transition to renewable energies require the specialists and managers of the future to adopt new approaches on both the managerial and the technical level. The programme equips students with a broad knowledge of hydrogen applications and the management of sustainable technologies for use in the field of regenerative energy carriers, and thus opens up interesting career opportunities.

Most of the teaching takes place on our campus in G?ppingen. Some lab work and certain electives take place in Esslingen.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to take the programme on a part-time basis?

No. The Hydrogen Economy and Technology Management degree programme is a full-time continuation Master programme which must be completed within five semesters at most.

Which criteria do I have to fulfil to be admitted?

You must show you have successfully completed a degree in engineering or engineering management with 210 ECTS credits. If the degree awards less than 210 ECTS credits, the difference must be made up during the Master programme. We recommend that applicants already have some knowledge of thermodynamics, electrical engineering, general chemistry, process engineering and energy management, and have attended application-oriented lectures on norms/standards or plant/process equipment construction.

Experts in demand

The career prospects for those on this future-oriented degree programme are excellent, because the transformation towards the use of renewable energy carriers means a lot of companies in all sectors are looking for experts in hydrogen applications and the associated technologies.
