This English-taught Master's programme, offered in Stralsund, Germany, addresses the urgent need to redesign how we produce and use energy in the face of climate change, limited natural resources and volatility in fossil-fuel supply. The curriculum focuses on renewable energy technologies — including photovoltaic and solar-thermal systems, biomass, wind and hydropower — alongside the development and integration of electric vehicles. The programme highlights how electrification of transport can both reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and help maintain the competitiveness of Germany’s automotive sector.
The degree is structured to respond to growing demand for engineers with expertise in renewables and e‑mobility. It builds on the faculty’s long-standing international experience: previous English-language master-level modules in Renewable Energies and a postgraduate programme in Renewable Energy and Hydrogen Technology have been incorporated into this new Master’s, allowing students to benefit from established course material and shared synergies across these offerings. There is currently no comparable programme in northern Germany, giving this course a distinctive regional profile.
Students can also make use of the faculty’s cooperative links with universities abroad, which open opportunities for academic exchange and international collaboration. The programme is aimed at graduates from technical and science backgrounds who want to specialise in the energy transition and electric mobility.
Entry requirements (concise)
This Master's programme is available as a three- or four-semester track to accommodate incoming students who hold a 180‑ECTS bachelor’s degree. The shorter (three‑semester) track and the longer (four‑semester) track differ mainly in that the four‑semester option includes an additional internship semester; enrollment for the three‑semester track is possible in both winter and summer semesters, while the four‑semester track is offered only in the summer semester. Core teaching is delivered across two taught semesters, and the final (third or fourth) semester is dedicated to the Master’s thesis.
The curriculum combines rigorous mathematical and technical foundations with application-oriented engineering training. Core modules cover modelling of physical systems and system theory, together with specialist technical bases such as regenerative energy systems, methods of power engineering and power electronics. Compulsory subject-area modules deepen knowledge in both renewable energy and e‑mobility focus areas so you gain targeted, sector‑specific expertise.
Practical and project-based learning is emphasised through a broad choice of elective modules and, for the four‑semester variant, an internship semester or project work plus three free electives. Electives address current technologies and hands‑on skills (for example, solar and wind systems, hydrogen and fuel cells, control of electrical drives, advanced power electronics, vehicle simulation and testing, and project seminars). Interdisciplinary competence is reinforced by choosing one qualification from quality in the automotive industry or environmental management. Graduates leave with the ability to model and analyse complex energy and vehicle systems, design and integrate power‑electronic and drive control solutions, and manage interdisciplinary projects in sustainable energy and e‑mobility sectors.
This master’s programme requires a relevant technical Bachelor’s degree and demonstrable prior coursework in core electrical-engineering subjects. International applicants should be prepared to submit official transcripts and course descriptions (syllabi) to document the specific modules and credit/teaching hours listed below. Admission is decided by the programme’s Admission Commission, and final enrolment depends on meeting the academic and language thresholds described.
Be aware that the programme offers different study-track lengths (three or four semesters) with slightly different entry prerequisites—mainly the total ECTS in your Bachelor and whether you have completed a relevant internship or professional experience. If your overall Bachelor grade falls in a borderline range, you will need to submit a short motivation letter and possibly additional proof of subject-specific qualifications.

Graduates will be prepared for engineering roles in renewable energy systems and electric mobility, including positions in system design, power electronics, drive control, vehicle systems engineering and project management. The mix of mathematical foundations, power engineering and application-focused electives equips students for work in the energy sector, automotive and e-mobility industries, as well as in research and development.
The programme's practical orientation (electives, project work and the optional internship semester) and international links also help graduates seeking roles in cross-border engineering projects, consultancy, or further academic study (e.g., doctoral research in related fields).
