Master of Science (M.Sc.)

Description

The world, and with it Lusatia, is changing towards climate-neutral technologies. This applies in particular to energy technology and economics. In the coming decades, young people will be sought in Lusatia who will accompany the energy transition and the structural change that has been initiated with it. Students of BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg studying Energy Technology and Economics have chances to be employed at the large new research institutes or at the centers in the vicinity of the BTU (Fraunhofer IEG, DLR) and in young companies that can develop from these centers. Studying at the BTU in the course of Energy Technology and Economics creates the professional qualifications to support these institutions and thus to support structural change in Lusatia and beyond.
