Climate change. Loss of biodiversity. Resource scarcity. Growing social inequality. Energy crisis. The challenges of the 21st century make it clear that our current energy system is undergoing a fundamental transformation. But how can sustainable and just energy systems be designed?
The interdisciplinary Master's programme Sustainable Energy at Europa-Universität Flensburg, in cooperation with Flensburg University of Applied Sciences, offers a unique opportunity to explore these critical questions and develop innovative solutions for sustainable energy systems.
A defining feature of this programme is its holistic approach, viewing energy systems as socio-ecological challenges that encompass technical, economic, environmental, and societal dimensions. Students learn to develop transformative strategies that integrate technical innovations with the principles of sustainability, justice, and global responsibility. The goal is to design energy systems that meet the demands of a sustainable future.
3 Specialisations: Transition, Development, Engineering
The Master Sustainable Energy programme consists of a total of 90 ECTS / Credit Points (CP). Full-time study spans three semesters, with 30 Credit Points (CP) awarded in each semester. In the third semester, students complete a Master’s thesis, which accounts for 30 CP and integrates the knowledge and skills acquired during the programme.
Students can choose from three specialisations, each offering a distinct focus. The curriculum includes shared compulsory courses for all three specialisations, along with additional mandatory and elective modules specific to each specialisation. The primary language of instruction is English, although some elective modules are offered exclusively in German.
