Home | Our study programmes | Bachelor | Regenerative energy technology
Regenerative energy technology deals with the sustainable generation and utilisation of energy from renewable sources. The aim is to replace fossil fuels with environmentally friendly alternatives and ensure a sustainable energy supply. Engineers in this field develop, plan and operate systems for the utilisation of solar energy, wind power, bioenergy and other renewable resources.
A degree in Renewable Energy Technology opens up a wide range of career opportunities in the promising renewable energy sector. You can work in areas such as the planning and project management of energy generation plants, in the operation and maintenance of such plants or in research and development. In addition, companies in the energy industry, consulting firms and public institutions offer numerous employment opportunities. Your skills are needed to develop and implement innovative solutions for a sustainable energy supply.

Climate change, scarce fossil fuels and rising energy costs make it clear that we need to fundamentally rethink our energy supply. If you are interested in shaping a sustainable energy future and promoting renewable energies, the Regenerative Energy Technology degree programme is just right for you. With us, you will learn how to develop, plan and operate innovative energy systems. You will deal with solar thermal, photovoltaic and wind energy systems as well as the utilisation of bioenergy. You will also learn how these systems are integrated into existing electricity and heating grids and which energy industry and legal framework conditions need to be taken into account. Through practical projects and close cooperation with industry, you will be optimally prepared for the diverse challenges of the energy transition.
The degree programme comprises a combination of compulsory and elective modules. The first two semesters impart basic engineering knowledge in a practical and project-based manner. The second part of the programme focuses on regenerative energy technology, including its integration into electrical and thermal energy systems. The programme ends with a six-month final module in research or industry, which offers a practical and professionally qualifying degree.
The degree programme is aimed at anyone with a basic technical interest and curiosity in renewable energies. A good understanding of natural sciences and a solid command of English are an advantage. Ideal for committed individuals who want to play an active role in shaping a sustainable energy future.
The renewable energy sector has created many new jobs in recent years and will continue to grow. Over 700 graduates in this field come from Nordhausen.
