Energy is one of the most urgent and important questions of our time. Sustainable energy generation, sensible distribution and efficient use of energy, also through energy savings, require interdisciplinary know-how. This is why our degree programme International Energy Economics (IEW) combines the subject areas of energy technology, computer science and business studies.
If you are excited by this dynamic and socially-significant industry and the idea of a sustainable energy supply appeals to you, if you want to help shape the energy revolution and are both a technology enthusiast and intrigued by economic interrelationships, then this is the right degree programme for you! In seven semesters it will provide you with comprehensive knowledge about the latest energy technology, as well as the ability to use the necessary information technology and business tools. To be successful in international business, you also need intercultural awareness, which is why spending a semester at one of our more than 60 foreign partner universities is compulsory. To a great extent, how you choose to extend and deepen your knowledge in related and supplementary subjects is up to you.
Prerequisites
