The Technical University of Berlin Master’s degree program in Germany profer advanced education for students and young professionals holding a Bachelor’s degree or academic that is equivalent in engineering or natural sciences. Here are the latest updates on Energy Engineering at TU Berlin.
The areas covered during studies are tailor-made based on research projects and enduring experiences of Technische Universität Berlin in the MENA region.
Upon completing the program, students will graduate with an official Masters of Science degree in Energy Engineering from Technische Universität Berlin.
Energy is a key factor for developing countries, facilitating their economic growth and shaping their environments to the needs of human society. Based on the increasing requirements for energy and its carbon-based generation, a range of serious problems have evolved.
Which include exploitation of resources, air pollution, and global warming. Pollution is successfully dealt with since the 2nd half of the 20th century and is a lessening problem. Research at TU Berlin visage the challenge of how to find innovative concepts for a safe, sustainable, and economic energy supply in the future.
TU Berlin (German: Technische Universität Berlin, known as TU Berlin) is a research university located in Berlin, Germany. The university was established in the year 1879 and it is one of the most influential educational institutions in Europe.
It is known for its highly-ranked engineering programs, especially in mechanical engineering and engineering management.
TU Berlin is a member of TU9, an integrated society of the largest and most remarkable German institutes of technology and the Top Industrial Managers for Europe network that allows student exchanges between leading engineering schools.
The university is the home of two innovation centers designated by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology.
The university is famous for being the first to offer the now very popular course Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen (which the university translates as Industrial Engineering and Management).
The university had abstracted the course as a response to demands by industrialists to offer a course that provides their offspring with the required technical and management expertise to run a company. Initially offered in the winter term 1926 / 27 it is the oldest and one of the most influential programs of its kind.
The Technical University of Berlin has one of the main proportions of international students in Germany.
The University covers 604,000 m², dispersed in various locations in Berlin. Its main campus is situated in the borough of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf. The seven (7) schools of the university have over 33,933 students enrolled in 90 subjects as of October 2015.
