The bachelor's degree programme covers a wide range of topics, which are taught using a variety of teaching methods. At Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences, the renewable energy degree programme focuses on these four aspects:

  • A holistic energy degree programme with a focus on management

We are one of the few degree programmes in the field of renewable energies with a holistic, economic-technical focus. This means that you will learn about the technical side of using renewable energies as well as the economic, legal affairs and political framework. The focus is on energy management, which makes up two thirds of the degree programme, while you learn the technical and scientific fundamentals in the remaining third. Are you primarily interested in these technical and scientific topics? Then you can also choose to study Energy Technology in Triesdorf.

  • Inclusion of all renewable energies

The Bachelor's degree programme also looks at all types of renewable energy: from solar energy (photovoltaics, solar thermal energy) to wind energy, hydropower, bioenergy from biogenic energy sources and geothermal energy. The energy mix of the future will utilise all of these resources. It is therefore all the more important to consider the "energy world of the future", its energy systems and raw materials in their diversity and totality as part of the Bachelor's degree programme.

  • Close to practice

Thanks to the diverse involvement of companies, the Management of Renewable Energies degree programme is very practice-oriented. During the entire 5th semester, all students work in a company of their choice in the energy sector.

  • Internationality

The energy industry is global. Therefore, take the opportunity to qualify for work in an international environment during your studies.
