Energy Engineering
Energy Engineering deals with the technologies required to provide and utilise energy in an environmentally friendly, efficient, safe and economical way. The Master's degree programme in Energy Engineering offers a research-oriented education that enables graduates to methodically classify and systematically combine knowledge from different areas and thus solve complex research and development tasks in the field of energy engineering.
The Master's degree program in Energy Engineering at TU Bergakademie Freiberg expands the general analytical and methodological skills acquired in the Bachelor's degree program in Energy Engineering (or a comparable degree program). No specialisation has to be selected in the degree program, but students who have completed examinations amounting to at least 20 credit points from a compulsory elective complex will also receive an indication of a specialisation on their certificate.
A team project is completed during the course of study. The final Master's thesis is completed in the third semester.
Specialisations
Deals with the necessary technologies for and the management of transmission networks for the supply of electrical energy as well as its storage and utilisation for electromobility and drive technology
Intensifies the use of gas, especially natural gas, for energy supply in the form of heat
Includes energy supply from renewable sources such as sun, wind, water and geothermal energy and teaches modern technologies for hydrogen production and utilisation

Why study Energy Engineering at TUBAF?
Humanity's growing hunger for energy is being offset by dwindling resources and increasing CO2 emissions. New forms of energy generation must be developed, the energy industry is changing.
Well-trained specialists are therefore needed everywhere in the energy industry and related fields.
The TU Bergakademie Freiberg is a campus university with short distances and personal contact with lecturers who are well networked. This provides students with opportunities for scholarships, collaboration on current research projects and support for semesters abroad.
The city of Freiberg scores highly with its low cost of living, affordable and sufficient living space and active student life.
Interests and skills you should bring along
- Interest in physics, heat and energy aspects
- The desire to provide a sustainable solution to the energy problems of the future, to handle fossil fuels carefully and to contribute to energy saving
- Curiosity about the expansion of electricity grids and the development of alternative energy storage concepts
If you want to choose the Energy Engineering degree programme to do something for the environment later on, then you've come to the right place. Unlike other similar degree programmes, the focus here is not just on electrical engineering. A broad spectrum of fundamentals is taught and there are several opportunities to specialise, depending on your interests. There are also other very interesting and innovative modules that you can take.
In addition, Freiberg offers the advantages of a small university: close contact with the lecturers is possible, everyone is very helpful, there are always enough places in every course, even courses for one person have already been arranged. The lecturers are competent and passionate about their subject area.
To summarise, I can only say that studying Energy Engineering in Freiberg was the best decision I ever made.
