Description of the study

The master's program in Sustainable Energy is offered jointly by the European University of Flensburg and Flensburg University of Applied Sciences and is aimed at students who want to play an active and holistic role in shaping the energy transition. The interdisciplinary structure combines technical expertise with social, political, and ecological issues. A central approach is the understanding of energy systems as socio-ecological systems in which technology, the environment, the economy, and society are inextricably linked.

Students complete a three-semester full-time program with a total of 90 ECTS credits. In the first semester, modules such as “Analysis and Complexity of Energy Systems” teach basic methods for modeling and evaluating sustainable energy systems. Building on this, the second semester features the module “Sustainable and Just Energy System Solutions,” which focuses on strategies for climate protection and transformation technologies. The third semester centers on the master's thesis (30 ECTS), in which students independently develop solutions.

The particular strength of the program lies in its three areas of specialization: Transition, Development, and Engineering. “Transition” deals with socio-ecological design and system change. ‘Development’ focuses on energy supply projects in the Global South, including international project management. “Engineering” focuses on technical solutions such as energy storage, grids, and renewable technologies. The program is highly practice-oriented: students work on interactive projects, cooperate with industry partners, and participate in workshops and excursions.

Graduates work in the energy industry, consulting firms, planning institutes, or research institutions, developing storage solutions, smart grids, or strategies for a just energy transition.
