The challenge of climate change and increasingly scarce resources is leading to major changes in Energy Management and energy management in industry, energy suppliers and energy traders. This area will therefore be confronted with many demanding challenges in the future.

Graduates of this specialization, which focuses on energy sustainability, master the key aspects of modern technical energy systems and the interactions with the energy markets. They are also able to design, implement and supervise sustainability-oriented energy management for companies.

The specialization in Sustainable Energy Management has the task of preparing students for the challenges and opportunities in the energy industry by providing in-depth knowledge in the areas of renewable energies, energy efficiency and sustainable development.

Here we provide an overview of the specialization modules in Sustainable Energy Management.
