Introduction
Develop the energy supply of our future
Energy generation and transmission, heat supply, industrial processes, building technology and energy efficiency: the entire energy industry is undergoing a transformation process towards an efficient overall system based on renewable energies (solar, wind, water, biomass). Future engineers need to think "outside the box" in order to be able to successfully solve the problems of the energy transition. The content of the Bachelor's degree in Applied Energy Technology reflects this holistic approach and is based on the current technical and economic challenges in the sustainable expansion of our energy system. This degree opens the door to the world of modern energy technology developments and has a clear focus: the sustainable energy supply of our future.
