Format

‍‍Online | Part-time

The M.Sc. in Solar Energy Engineering is suitable for highly qualified students who already have an academic background in STEM subjects (physics, chemistry, electronics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, material sciences, computer engineering, etc.).

Specialists with a production or sales background in solar energy systems or even beginners in the solar energy field can gain in-depth knowledge from this program. This program is also suitable for teachers, researchers, and committed young scientists who want to further specialise in their topics. For prospective students who want to expand their knowledge and skills in the solar energy field, this program is the right choice.

The Certificates in Solar Energy Engineering have less strict background requirements. However, for most of them a reasonable knowledge on STEM subjects is ideal. Our Certificates on Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic (opens in a new tab) and Solar Thermal Energy Technology (opens in a new tab) still require some knowledge on Physics, Maths and Engineering but they could be handled by students who do not possess deep knowledge in those areas.
