International Energy Engineering

In the field of international energy technology, you will work in a constantly growing future market. Due to the international nature of the program, conducted completely in the world language English, and fellow students from many different countries, there are excellent opportunities throughout the global job market - energy is needed everywhere and is the basis of every economic system.

The diverse skills you will acquire in the field of energy technology will enable you to develop, dimension, build and operate energy technology systems. Likewise, you will be able to work in the areas of consulting, strategic planning, product development and simulation, in a national, but especially in an international environment.

The skills in scientific work also open up the possibility of a scientific career with activities in global energy research as well as a doctorate.

With the international master's degree "M.Eng.", many paths are open to you: in the energy market and in the energy industry, many highly qualified specialists will still be needed in the long term, both in Germany and internationally.

The start date of International Energy Engineering Masters programme is offered in both summer and winter semester.

Application period for the summer semester (only for Bachelor's degrees with 210 ECTS*)
For the summer semester starting on 15th March, you can apply online from 1.November to 15. January.

More detailed information on application and registration 

Basic requirements:

•     Completed bachelor or diploma studies with an overall final grade according to the German grading system is 2.5 or better 
  • in an engineering course of study: e.g. energy technology, renewable energies, environmental technology, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, process engineering, supply engineering, civil engineering, industrial engineering with a corresponding technical focus or equivalent course of study
  • with at least 20 ECTS* credits from the competence fields: Mathematics, Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering, Fundamentals of Thermodynamics, Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics, Fundamentals of Chemistry, Fundamentals of Physics, Computer Science/Programming.
•     Only for applicants with a degree from outside Germany: You must submit your degree-related documents to Uni-Assist and apply for a Vorprüfungsdokumentation (VPD) for Masters´programmes, made out specifically to OTH Amberg-Weiden. The VPD will confirm to the University:
  • The overall grade you gained for your Bachelor´s degree, converted into a grade in the German system.
  • The number of credit points according to the ECTS*: either 180 ECTS points or 210 ECTS points.
•     Knowledge of the English language at least on level B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference. Proof by one of the following English language tests with the specified minimum score: TOEFL IBT - 80 / IELTS Cambridge - 6 / TOEIC - 780. Proof is not required if the university entrance qualification or the university degree was obtained in English.
•     Knowledge of the German language at least at level A2: Proof by the end of the first year of study at the latest. German language instruction is included in the curriculum, but not sufficient for level A2. The university will assist in finding additional German courses.
• Only for Indian students: The APS certificate is mandatory before UniAssist will provide you with your Vorprüfungsdokumentation/VPD.

Degrees with 180 ECTS* credits:
Enrollment is only possible once a year for the winter semester, combined with the requirement to make up the difference of 30 ECTS* credits by taking modules from an existing bachelor's degree program at OTH Amberg-Weiden. For this purpose, there is a special offer of six English-language modules, the so-called bridge modules. These are only offered in the winter semester.

Degrees with 210 ECTS* credits:
Participation in the bridge semester is highly recommended. In this case it counts as voluntary performance.

Assessment procedure

If all basic requirements are met, an aptitude assessment procedure takes place. For this, an evaluation of specific aptitudes in the field of energy technology takes place, to be proven by:

•     scientific work/project work as part of your bachelor's degree in the subjects of energy technology, energy efficiency and energy economics and
•     practical experience in the field of energy technology or fields related to energy technology.

Please submit appropriate documentation/evidence with your application, for example, your thesis, project work, records of lab work or internships, job references.

These specific qualifications will be evaluated by a university selection committee. Together with the final grade of the Bachelor's program, an overall grade will be determined. If this is 2.5 or better, the applicant will be admitted and will receive a corresponding decision.

ATTENTION:

    All documents must be submitted in German or English!

* ECTS = European Credit Transfer System stands for the Credit Point System, which is valid in all member states of the European Union (EU). Uni-Assist evaluates all degrees that were not acquired in the EU and converts the final grade into the German grading system.
