Programme content and qualification objective
Course structure
In the first two semesters, students complete practical vocational training in the company. The on-campus programme starts in the third semester. The following seven semesters correspond to the regular Bachelor's degree programme in Sustainable Engineering (BEng), where students learn the basics of engineering and natural sciences. Topics such as renewable energies and ethics create the basis for an understanding of sustainability. In addition, students complete an internship semester in a cooperating company. The degree programme concludes with the Bachelor's thesis and colloquium.
Prospects and job opportunities
The close relationship with the employer where the in-company training takes place promises excellent career opportunities in this company. The training contract guarantees an income while studying. Graduates are qualified for many sectors. Careers in the field of energy generation and distribution as well as jobs in industrial companies, planning offices and in the energy and mobility sectors are all possible.
H-BRS offers a Master's degree programme Sustainable Engineering Science (M.Eng.) or alternatively Electrical Engineering (M.Eng) and Mechanical Engineering (M.Eng.).
Practical relevance and teaching formats
The dual study programme combines practical teaching with vocational training. In order to transfer what has been learned directly into application, the degree programme includes:
- laboratory internships in which, for example, renewable energies are tested and life cycle assessments are created.
- three project weeks per semester, which alternate with four weeks of lectures and offer students the opportunity to work on projects in small teams during their studies.
- an internship semester in Germany or abroad, which takes place in the cooperating company
- a final thesis, which is written in the cooperating company.
