    Renewable Energy Systems (RES)

    About

    The Master's programme in Renewable Energy Systems (RES) aims at providing graduates with the skills required to successfully plan, develop, and control energy systems. Graduates will be familiar with renewable energy technologies and able to expand their professional knowledge. The main focus is not on single technologies. Rather, it is on the interrelation between these technologies and the structure of the demand side. In particular, graduates should be able to work in an international working environment, dealing successfully with intercultural challenges. The following modules are part of the curriculum: 1. Introductory Laboratory Course 2. Production Oriented Energy Systems 3. Off-Grid Energy Systems 4. Urban Area Energy Systems 5. Numerical Methods and Simulation Techniques 6. Energy Efficiency and Energy Management 7. System Analysis and Control 8. Energy Policies and Markets 9. Scientific Seminar 10. Thesis 11. Optional Internship It is also possible (but not compulsory) to study the RES programme as a dual course of study. Students of the dual Master's degree programme will complete two internships over semesters one and two.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    Requirements include a Bachelor's degree in energy engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, or equivalent with at least 210 ECTS credits or equivalent degree requirements (a minimum of seven semester at a German university with a workload of 25-30 hours per ECTS). Specific experience in energy related topics is also required and checked in an aptitude test on the basis of documents provided by the applicant. There is NO interview and no written test. Energy experience can be gained by way of professional jobs, suitable internships, a Bachelor's thesis, and other project work. You have to prove your experience by uploading valid documents at the THI application server. Your grades and your experience will be used to form a new grade. Admission for applicants with Bachelor's degrees comprising 180 ECTS For applicants who have a Bachelor's degree with less than 210 credits (but with a minimum of 180 ECTS), an approval of 30 ECTS on the basis of the qualified working experience is possible if the examination board agrees. The extent and nature of the working experience must comply with the rules for a second practical semester at Bavarian applied universities (§ 13 RaPO) and must be documented with a certificate of employment. Applicants with a Bachelor's degree from a country other than Germany will have to send their documents to uni-assist for preliminary inspection prior to their application at THI. Please allow several weeks for this process, i.e., apply as soon as possible via uni-assist. Following this, you can apply via the THI application server with your VPD (preliminary review documentation, or "Vorpüfungsdokumentation" in German) from uni-assist.
