Master’s in Renewable Energy Management
Are you interested in playing an active part in the energy transition and believe that there is more to it than just technology?
On the one hand, the rapid technological development of renewable energies is leading to more and more specialization in the various sub-sectors. On the other hand, if these developments are to be implemented, it is essential that they are accepted by society . It is therefore almost impossible to put any project into practice today or in the future without mediation, consultation and building trust with the people affected.
This is one of the unique features of the degree program “Renewable Energy Management” at the University of Applied Sciences Erfurt.
You will acquire the following interdisciplinary skills in the field of renewable energies:
- the technical operation of renewable energy systems,
- the necessary management and communication skills to implement these systems,
- the legal competence to recognize the limitations of planning,
- sound skills in the creation and critical evaluation of potential analyses of primary energy resources.
You will also gain insights into the strategic planning involved in incorporating renewable energies into the environment.
