Master in Clean Energy Processes

The Master's programme in Clean Energy Processes (CEP) at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg is a four-semester, English-taught, research-oriented degree with intakes in both the winter and summer semester. It prepares graduates for engineering roles in industry or academia focused on clean energy processes, with two specialisation tracks: energy technologies and energy systems. The curriculum includes specialisation modules with integrated laboratory courses, compulsory and elective modules in energy technology, process engineering, chemical engineering, plant and equipment engineering, materials sciences, and economics, as well as seminars, laboratory courses, an integrated internship in either research or industry, and a Master's thesis. Students also develop soft skills, advanced scientific skills, and have the opportunity to work on research projects at partner institutes. The programme draws on proximity to centres including the Helmholtz Institute for Renewable Energy, the Energy Campus Nürnberg, the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits, and the Bavarian Center for Applied Energy Research. The programme is based at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg in Erlangen, Germany.
