ENTECHs scope is energy technologies in a broad sense. As students come from different backgrounds, the initial training (Basic Courses) will bring them to a common level of energy engineering knowledge. This requires a modular class structure and a Learning Agreement developed on an individual student basis.

Subsequently, and based on the respective basic courses, several specialisations (Main Subjects) are offered. Topics, which differ between the collaborating universities, cover fields like electrical energy systems, transport and storage of energy, energy conversion, energy economics and energy system analysis. You must select two main subjects to pursue in depth.

The master thesis (30 ECTS) covers the entire fourth semester. Within this period, you work on a topic that is part of a research project or directly related to industry. The site (industrial enterprise or research institution) and time of this internship depend on the specific topic.

Your studies also cover economic and social as well as legal and ecological aspects of different energy technologies and their implementation. Special emphasis is put on innovation and management processes; you learn the basics of product development and how innovations can be realized in companies (Innovation & Entrepreneurship). Topics dealt with in project work and later on, particularly in the master thesis, are primarily industrial issues of practical relevance, or part of a larger research project carried out together with an industrial partner.

According to EIT criteria, the programme envisages mobility from one university to another after the first study year. The university that you choose for your first year will be the home institution. You then continue your second year at one of the partner institutions according to your chosen major.

The four partner universities cooperating in ENTECH are:

• Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany (also the coordinating institution)
• Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Portugal
• Uppsala University (UU), Sweden
• Grenoble Institute of Technology (G-INP), France

KIT and IST offer full first-study year entry points as well as the second-year exit points. To broaden the possibilities within ENTECH, UU and Grenoble INP provide selected second-year specialisations.
