Location of University of Oldenburg
Starting in 1987 the Postgraduate Programme Renewable Energy (PPRE) has since then graduated more then 320 participants from over 77 countries in 22 years.
Students (who must hold a 7 semester (210 CP) BSc degree in engineering or science in order to be admitted) with some professional experience in the field of energy, study the theory and applications of renewable energy systems, test their skills in labs and outdoor experiments, visit companies and sites, and do external training in industry or research institutes. The programme is completed with a thesis project and the final examination.
Successful participation is awarded with an MSc degree. PPRE´s absolvents made their careers in industries, consultancies, government bodies, NGOs or in research institutes.
The university keeps good contacts to alumni, who are taking part in regional seminars or are invited to give lectures for the present students. Networking with absolvents includes newsletter, e-mails, internet and visits.
The programme has cooperation agreements with universities abroad with the aim of intensifying exchange of staff, students and curricula in the field of postgraduate renewable education.
The development of distance teaching units has been started and the use of internet based modules in cooperation with partner institutions started 2004 (Modules Energy Economics & Energy Meteorology).
Contents
The postgraduate programme consists of lectures, seminars and laboratory courses at the University and an external practical training in relevant organisations, research institutes and companies. Necessary theoretical knowledge and practical skills (e.g. for lab work) are acquired during the first term from October to February.
The winter term is followed by the mandatory external training in companies or research institutes of two months duration.
The second term (summer term) is dedicated to case studies and the development of solutions to specific problems in rural regions of the Third World. In addition classes on theory and applications of Renewables as well as laboratory courses (solar/outdoor) are continued.
The subject of the final thesis evolves from the participant´s special interest, the laboratory courses and experience gained during the external training, which should be related to the participant´s future professional occupation.
Graduation
After successful completion of all modules (incl. the module exams) and the six-month thesis project students are awarded the MSc degree and receive certificates
