How is the program structured?
The Master program Energytechnik is a German program and it is designed for four semesters and can be started in both the winter and summer semester. It includes compulsory modules, optional modules, a student research project, laboratory practicals, an industrial internship and the final Master's thesis.
Students must complete a total of 120 ECTS credits, which are spread over approx. 30 ECTS per semester.
The study regulations provide for the choice of two specialisation subjects, which form the two focal points of the degree programme. While the first specialisation subject must be chosen from Group 1 (subject-specific specialisation subject), the second can also be chosen from Group 2 (specialisation subject with a cross-sectional character) or also from Group 1. The following subjects are offered in groups 1 and 2:
Group 1: Subject-specific specialisation subject
Renewable thermal energy systems
Combustion and power plant technology
Building energetics
Nuclear Energy Technology
Fission and Fusion
Fluid Mechanics and Hydropower
Efficient energy utilisation
Thermal turbomachinery
Wind Energy
Energy Distribution
Group 2: Specialisation subject with cross-sectional character
Electrical machines and drives
Energy and environment
Energy systems and energy management
Strength of materials and materials engineering
Modelling and simulation methods
Thermofluid dynamics
Energy storage
A specialisation subject consists of a core subject module with 6 ECTS, a core/supplementary subject module with 6 ECTS, a supplementary subject module with 3 ECTS and a work placement with 3 ECTS (18 ECTS in total).
The study regulations also provide for the following components of the programme:
Three specialisation modules freely selectable from a catalogue (18 ECTS in total)
Industrial internship or compulsory elective modules (15 ECTS)
Two key qualifications freely selectable from a catalogue (6 ECTS in total)
Student research project (15 ECTS)
Master's thesis (30 ECTS)
- Macrostructure of the Master program Energietechnik
The program comprises 120 ECTS, which are divided into 30 points per semester
By the end of the Master program, either an industrial internship or compulsory elective modules totalling 15 ECTS must be completed. The internship provides an insight into the development, production and manufacturing technology as well as the operational processes of companies in the field of energy technology. The compulsory elective modules can be found online in Campus in the module handbook for the degree programme.
The procedure and content of the internship must comply with the ‘Internship Guidelines for Mechanical Engineering’. In addition, students must prepare an internship report, which must be graded as ‘successfully completed’ in order to receive the 15 ECTS credits.
The module handbook and the curriculum describe the individual modules with the associated courses, contents and examinations. The module handbook is automatically generated in c@mpus at the beginning of each semester.
The Master program Energytechnology is a German-language program, although individual modules are offered in English. Applicants of non-German origin must therefore provide proof of sufficient German language skills with their application. Further information on the language requirements for German-language degree programmes and the proof to be provided can be found at the following link (in German):
Interdisciplinary key qualifications (FÜSQ) are ungraded academic achievements and are assessed with the grade ‘successfully completed’ if successfully completed. The aim of these courses is to familiarise students with categories of thought outside the technical sciences and the basic sciences assigned to them.
The FÜSQ required in the Master program Energytechnik must be selected from competence areas 1 to 5 and can be viewed and selected in the module handbook or in C@mpus. Students can register online via the Centre for Higher Education and Lifelong Learning at the University of Stuttgart.
Attention: Subject-related key qualifications (SQ) are, unlike the FÜSQ, graded coursework and can also be viewed in the module handbook or in C@mpus. SQs that have already been chosen in the Bachelor program can no longer be taken in the Master program.
