If you wish to study at a partner university in the autumn or spring semester, you can apply here for one or more preferred universities (multiple selections are possible). Please be aware of the application deadlines for each partner university. The selection is made by the International Center at EUF. If you are offered a place, you must accept it within the specified deadline, as it may otherwise be allocated to someone else.

In consultation with the programme coordination, you will then arrange a Learning Agreement that includes your preferred modules at the partner university. This will allow for the later recognition of the credits earned. If you have any questions about the application process, the International Center is happy to assist you.

An international stay at one of our partner universities can be financially and organisationally supported through the Erasmus+ programme. This applies to all European as well as a large portion of the non-European partner universities of EUF. Further information on funding opportunities, such as the PROMOS scholarship, can be found here.

Additionally, the EUM/EnWi Association of Energy Sciences annually awards scholarships for stays abroad.

For more information, please visit the website of the International Office at EUF.

Information about the recognition of credits earned abroad can be found under For Students.

• The registration for the Master's thesis is done via the relevant application form, which must be submitted to the student office by the specified deadline.
• Title changes are possible until submission, but they require written approval from the supervisor (see § 11 (1) PStO).

• The Master's thesis is worth 30 ECTS and has a processing time of five months (see § 11 (2) PStO).
• The length is at least 8,000 words.
• The thesis concludes with a viva, consisting of
  • a 30-minute presentation and

Here you will find an overview of completed Master's theses from the Sustainable Energy programme.

Master Thesis Overview 

The supervision of the Master's thesis is provided by authorised examiners according to the regulations of the examination rules:

• University lecturers: Supervision can be carried out by professors or private lecturers.
• Doctoral researchers: Doctoral researchers are also authorised examiners, without the need for additional university lecturers to be involved.
• External examiners: In exceptional cases, supervision can be provided by external examiners. These must be approved by the examination board. At least one supervisor must have taught in the relevant subject area (see § 8 (1) PStO).

The choice of supervisor is made in consultation with the programme coordination. Early contact is recommended to jointly define the topic and methodology.

• The Master's thesis can also be completed as a group project upon request.
• In this case, it must be clearly indicated which part of the thesis was written by each individual in order to enable an individual assessment (see § 11 (3) PStO).

The Master's thesis must be submitted on time in the required format. This includes:

• A digital version (e.g., PDF format), which must be submitted via upload or email.
• Printed copies, if required by the supervisor (see § 11 (2) PStO).
  After submission, you will receive a written confirmation of the receipt of your thesis.

Important notes regarding submission:

• For postal delivery, the receipt date at the student services (SPA) will be considered the submission date, not the postmark.
• The Master's thesis must include a signed declaration of originality (§11 (2), RaPO §24 (7)).
• For printed copies, the signature must be handwritten (no digital signatures).
• The digital version must not contain personal data; the signature is not required here.

We would like to publish your Master's thesis on our website to provide future students with an insight into the topics and outcomes of the Sustainable Energy programme.

Master Thesis Overview

If you would like to present your thesis in the overview of Master's theses, you can submit a consent form for publication. The corresponding form can be found on our website or obtained from the student office.

Publication is, of course, voluntary and can be revoked at any time.

After successfully completing your Master's thesis and oral defense, you will receive your degree certificate. Upon issuance of the certificate, your de-registration will be automatically initiated, unless you submit a request for an extension of your enrolment.

There are different requirements depending on the chosen specialisation.

For the Engineering specialisation, you need a relevant university degree (B.Sc./Diploma) with at least 210 ECTS credits in an engineering-related field, as well as very good English skills (minimum level B2.2).

For the Transition specialisation, the same requirements apply, plus an additional international experience of at least four months during your Bachelor's studies, either as a study abroad period or an internship.

You can find the detailed admission requirements here.

The application deadlines depend on the semester:

For the spring semester, applications are open from 1 December to 15 January. For the autumn semester, the application period runs from 15 May to 15 July. These deadlines apply to the Transition and Engineering specialisations.

International applicants apply through the same online portal as German students. All application documents must be submitted completely and on time, in either German or English. After admission, you can request an official confirmation (“Confirmation of Admission”) to support your visa application. Please make sure to inform yourself early about visa, insurance, and residence requirements.

In the case of a conditional admission, certain documents are still missing – for example, your Bachelor’s certificate, transcripts for individual courses, or other academic records. These must be submitted to the Student Secretariat by the deadline stated in your admission letter.

The admission may also come with conditions, such as successfully completing bridge courses. These must be completed within the first two semesters. Please coordinate with the programme coordinator to determine which courses can be recognised. Bridge courses will appear on your transcript but do not affect your final Master’s grade.

These messages in the application portal usually do not mean that your application has been rejected.

“Documents missing” indicates that certain required documents are still missing or could not be clearly assigned. Please check the portal to see exactly which documents are affected and upload them if necessary.

“Temporarily excluded” may appear while your application is still under review by the admissions committee. If it also says: “The documents are pending a decision by the admissions committee – no consequences,” your application remains valid. In both cases, no further action is required; the status will be updated once the review is complete.

Yes – submitting documents at a later stage is possible in certain cases, especially if you apply before completing your Bachelor's degree. In this case, missing documents such as your degree certificate or certificate of de-registration can be submitted later, by the deadline stated in your admission letter.

Other individual documents (e.g. language certificates) may also be submitted at a later stage, depending on the specific conditions. Please refer to the application portal and your admission notice for details. Make sure your application is still formally complete and correct in order to be considered.

The bridge courses you need to take will be specified individually in your admission letter. Typically, you will choose suitable courses from the Bachelor’s or Master’s curriculum to close academic gaps – for example in energy economics or engineering. The selection is made in consultation with the programme coordinator. Bridge courses will appear on your transcript but do not count towards your final Master’s grade.

Further information on bridge courses is available from the programme coordination.

Bridge courses that you take as part of a conditional admission are intended to help you meet the academic prerequisites for the Master’s programme. These courses should be successfully completed within the first two semesters.

The results of the bridge courses will appear on your transcript of records but do not count towards your final Master’s grade. They are considered an enrolment requirement, not part of the regular curriculum.

There are no tuition fees at Europa-Universität Flensburg. However, a semester fee must be paid each term as part of the re-registration process. This fee covers the nationwide semester ticket (Deutschlandticket), the contribution to the student services organisation, and the student union (AStA).

The exact amount may vary slightly. For the winter semester 2025/26, the fee is €309.30; for the spring semester 2025, it was €276.90. Payment is required for re-registration or enrolment and must be made via bank transfer to EUF. Detailed payment information can be found on the Student Secretariat’s website.

The Schleswig-Holstein semester ticket (Deutschlandticket) is included in the semester fee. After you have paid the fee during the re-registration period, you can order the ticket online. You will need your university email address for this. The ticket is valid from 1 March (spring semester) or 1 September (winter semester) of the respective term.

No, students generally only pay the semester contribution once, even if they are temporarily enrolled at two universities during the transition from a Bachelor's to a Master's degree (e.g. at HS Flensburg and EUF).

If dual enrolment is required for organisational reasons, it is possible to apply for a refund of any duplicate payments, such as:
– Deutschlandticket (e.g. €176.40): Refund via the AStA
– Student services contribution (e.g. €79): Refund may be possible upon request to the student services organisation.

After enrolment, you will receive an information sheet with your personal login credentials for the IT services of Europa-Universität Flensburg. This includes:

– Your EUF email address
– Login details for Moodle and other online platforms
– A separate username for the campus management system "Studiport"

You can access Moodle using your regular EUF credentials. Studiport requires a separate username, which you will need for exam registration, study certificates, and re-enrolment.

Please keep this information sheet safe – it contains all essential details for starting your studies.

After your enrolment, you will receive a personal email address from Europa-Universität Flensburg (e.g. firstname.lastname@studierende.uni-flensburg.de). This address is used for all official university communications.

You can access your university email in the following ways:
– Webmail: Directly in your browser via mail.uni-flensburg.de
– Email app: Add the address to applications like Outlook, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird

Please check your EUF inbox regularly, as important information such as deadlines, exam dates, and organisational updates will be sent there.

The modules and courses you can take depend on your chosen specialisation within the “Sustainable Energy” Master’s programme (e.g. Engineering, Transition, Development).

All compulsory and elective modules are listed in the programme’s module handbook. There you will also find information on content, learning objectives, assessment types, and associated courses.

In general, you can:
– take all modules assigned to your specialisation
– additionally attend suitable elective modules (in consultation with the coordinator, if needed)
– take individual courses from other study programmes (at EUF or HS Flensburg) if they are relevant and can be recognised
