Energy Engineering and Process Engineering (B.Sc.)

The Energy Engineering and Process Engineering bachelors study program teaches students how to technically implement processes for environmentally-friendly energy supply. Students also learn about processes used to manufacture pharmaceuticals and foodstuffs and about general resource conservation. The curriculum covers a diverse range of topics while bringing the disciplines energy, process, and building engineering together in one study program. The content you learn is accordingly varied. You acquire basic skills in math, physics, chemistry, thermodynamics, and economics as well as further knowledge specific to engineering from fields such as mechanics, electrical engineering and information technology, design, and materials science. Furthermore, students are already able to develop their own individual profile of qualifications during their undergraduate studies by choosing a specialization: If you choose energy engineering as your specialization, you will learn about the conversion, transport, storage, and efficient use of different energy forms and carriers. In the process engineering specialization, you will concentrate on the investigation, development, and technical implementation of processes which alter materials with regards to their type, properties, and composition. The building engineering specialization allows you to study energy-efficient system solutions when designing technology for the interior of buildings, vehicles, train carriages, and airplanes.

In this study program you acquire the technical knowledge and skills required for problem solving in your later profession. You also gain transferable skills which allow you to apply what you have learned to a constantly changing professional field in a way that is both ethical and socially responsible. You will learn content, principles, and methods in natural science, math, and engineering as well as additional content from the field of economics. Further, you will know how to purposefully apply all of your knowledge and skills, including in a scientific context.

As for every other bachelors degree program at TU Berlin, applicants must possess a university entrance qualification certificate to apply. Generally, the Abitur serves as the university entrance qualification certificate. If you do not have a formal university entrance qualification, you may still be able to study at TU Berlin if you can provide proof of certain professional qualifications.

The Energy Engineering and Process Engineering bachelors program is taught in German. If you are applying with a foreign school-leaving certificate, you must provide proof of German skills at a specific level. This is a prerequisite for admission. Knowledge of English is useful as some courses/modules are also offered in English. However, it is not a condition for admission to studies.

This bachelors program features an engineering curriculum founded in the natural sciences. Thus, it is desirable that students possess an interest in both engineering and natural science. It is particularly useful if you took advanced courses in subjects like mathematics, physics, or chemistry in school. As transferable skills play a key role in the curriculum, you should be an excellent team player with good communication skills as well as possess an awareness of socially relevant issues.
