Renewable Energy and E-Mobility (REEM)

Rethinking the area of energy supply and use is indispensable in times of climate change, finite natural resources and instability of the fossil fuel supply. Particular attention is given to the use of renewable energy sources such as solar radiation in PV and solar thermal systems, biomass, wind and hydropower as well as the development of electric vehicles. The creation of electric cars can be a major step towards avoiding the consequences of climate change and at the same time towards making Germany's automotive industry more competitive in the future. The new study programme is designed to address these future topics and to help to meet the growing need for engineers. There is no equivalent offer in the north of Germany.
