Know-how for the development of intelligent IT solutions for the revolution of our energy systems (Smart Grids, Smart City)

The energy transition has many facets: be it electro-mobility, the implementation of energy communities, the increased use of renewable energy and its storage, sector coupling, increasing energy efficiency, smart metering, demand-side management and much more. Much is currently in the making and the success or failure of all projects will depend on how well we manage to harmonise technological progress, the necessary standardisation and legislation as well as the economic framework conditions. This is precisely where the part-time Master's degree programme in Energy Informatics comes in. Students acquire in-depth knowledge of technological developments in the energy sector, learn how to use IT and programming in a targeted manner and gain an insight into the legal and economic framework conditions.

Career Profile

The topic of energy and the associated development of future energy systems is an important strategic goal at both national and international level. This can be seen, for example, within the EU through the "Energy & Climate Package" adopted in 2007 or the "Energy Efficiency Directive" issued in 2012. Similar approaches and projects can also be observed globally outside the EU. As a consequence, a massive technological change in the design of energy systems is to be expected in the coming years. For this reason, there is an increasing need for experts who understand the mechanisms of energy generation and distribution as well as the underlying market processes and legal framework conditions. Above all, profound IT knowledge is also required in order to grasp and further develop the high complexity of intelligent systems. As a graduate of the Master's degree programme, you will have precisely this expertise and will therefore be in demand in many areas. A promising, international and innovative professional environment awaits you.
