Sustainable Power Systems and Electromobility (Bachelor)

Degree	Bachelor of Science
Standard duration of study	6 semesters
Language of Instruction	German
Start of programme	winter and summer semester
Admission	free admission

How do we achieve climate neutrality by 2045? What will sustainable energy systems and mobility of the future look like? We can only make progress in the development of energy systems and electromobility—involving photovoltaics, wind energy, batteries, hydrogen electrolysers and fuel cells—by thinking beyond the boundaries of individual disciplines. In the degree programme Sustainable Power Systems and Electromobility, you will learn the necessary basics of physics, chemistry, electrical engineering and other engineering sciences. In addition to individual technologies at a component level, you will also learn about cross-sector system modelling and holistic technology assessment. Studying at TU Braunschweig means you will have excellent career opportunities. On our way to climate neutrality, you will actively participate in the transformation of energy, heating and transport systems.

What is special about TU Braunschweig?

A high international reputation

With your degree, you are in demand both in Germany and abroad. You will study under very good supervision at one of the best faculties in Germany, as university rankings have attested time and again. Studying Sustainable Power Systems and Electromobility at TU Braunschweig means hands-on, practical learning at a renowned institution with a high international profile.

TU Braunschweig’s environment contributes to the favourable framework conditions: thanks to a large number of major research institutions, Braunschweig is considered a city of research and science! In addition to working closely with the following TU research centres:

Automotive Research Centre Niedersachsen (NFF),
Aeronautics Research Centre Niedersachsen (NFL)

and our cooperation with these local large-scale research institutions:

German Aerospace Center (DLR) as well as
Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), National Metrology Institute

there is intensive cooperation with vehicle and component manufacturers as well as network operators in the region, in Germany and abroad.

Information on the study programme

The Bachelor’s degree programme Sustainable Power Systems and Electromobility is characterised by its interdisciplinary approach, which in Germany is hardly to be found anywhere else. Building on a broad foundation in natural sciences and engineering, we provide education that is multi-faceted, research- and practice-oriented to meet the upcoming challenges within the context of the shift in energy, heating and transport.

The degree programme covers the following topics:

Those who have gained experience abroad and speak a foreign language are particularly sought after by the economy. Today, large companies operate globally, research projects are carried out in international teams and specialised literature is written in English. It is therefore important that you take advantage of your studies to gain experience abroad and to professionalise your foreign language skills.

Within the framework of our international university partnerships, we offer you many opportunities to study abroad:

Europe: with universities in, for example, Scandinavia, Southern and Eastern Europe
North America: with universities in the USA and Canada
South America: with universities in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico
Asia: with universities in India, China, Japan and South Korea

Studying abroad [in German only]

You may want to consider the Sustainable Power Systems and Electromobility degree programme if you:

enjoy technology and natural sciences
have a good basic understanding of mathematics,
enjoy finding solutions in a team,
think about the consequences of modern technologies,
like to combine different subject areas, and
want to protect the climate.

Engineers are the engine of technical progress. They drive innovation and develop solutions for issues of global importance such as climate protection and energy transition. The demand for well-trained specialists with an interdisciplinary background is high and will continue to increase in the context of integrated energy. Your will find a wide range of job opportunities as an engineer in the context of the shift in energy, heat and mobility. Already during your studies, you can get to know potential employers through internships or as a working student thanks to our close networking in Germany and abroad as well as with research institutions and companies in the region. A Bachelor’s degree entitles you to pursue further Master’s studies at TU Braunschweig, such as in Electromobility or Electrical Engineering. Students who successfully complete their Master’s degree have the opportunity to pursue a doctorate in engineering.
