Program Description
The whole topic of energy is approached in its broadest sense, as research and development in this area overlap considerably with several classical areas of the natural sciences and engineering. All these areas are covered by expertise from the various Institutes of the Research Center Jülich and by the specialist departments at the FH Aachen / University of Applied Sciences. From fuel cells to nuclear technology, from solar architecture to biological energy processes, there are experts available to contribute to the education of interested young people from all over the world.
In addition to the technical problems of energy conversion and energy efficiency, the general problems of the economics of world energy production, affordability, the relationship between energy and the environment and the sustainability of energy systems are covered.
Upon graduation a large percentage of students expressed their wish to study for their Master's degree in Jülich. A Master's degree in Energy Systems proved to be especially in demand, as the students are well aware that the Department of Energy Technology in Jülich plus the Solar Institute mean that Jülich offers a rare combination of expertise.
Furthermore, the Research Center Jülich is also nearby, where a special emphasis is also placed on energy research and development.
University
The FH Aachen / University of Applied Sciences, Jülich Campus, in close association with the Research Center Jülich, now offers a two-year Master of Science in Energy Systems program, taught in English, complying with the high standards of the internationally recognized Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree. Accreditation by the accrediation board AQAS and the European Credit Transfer System (ETCS) ensure flexibility of study.
The Master of Science in Energy Systems program has been accredited by by an official accrediation board.
The European Credit Transfer System (ETCS) ensures flexibility of study.
The co-operation between the University and the Research Center has been organized on a specified contractual basis.

First Year of the Program
Courses in the first year of the Master of Science in Energy Systems program include
* Fundamentals of Engineering
* Basics of Energy Systems
* Mathematical Tools and Simulation
* Industrial Energy Technology
* Modelling of Systems and Processes
* Management Systems and Business Administration
Second Year of the Program
In the second year of the program, students can select three modules from the following topics:
* Energy Efficiency
* Renewable Energies
* Fossil Energy Techniques
* Supply and Disposal Technologies
* Energy Applications
* Advanced Modelling Techniques
* Recourse Technologies
* Plant Engineering
* Distribution Technologies
* Transformation of Energy
* Sustainable Energy Systems and Energy Economics
* Materials in Energy Techniques
* Commuincation and Computer
* Skills Management Skills
In the second year of the program, in addition to attending lectures, students work on their research projects at the university, the Research Center Jülich, in industry, or at an associated university (such as our partner institute, the Technological Educational Institute of Crete in Heraklion, Greece), in order to give practical emphasis to their studies and complete their Master's degree. It is recommended that German students complete this part of their degree abroad.
The environmental consequences of meeting the planet's energy requirements, as well as the gradually dwindling resources of fossil fuels ensures that the significance of the research and development of energy engineering will not diminish, but rather considerably increase in the foreseeable future.
