Frequently Asked Questions
What is special about this degree program?
The Master's degree in Energy & Sustainability Management is characterized by its broad spectrum of skills, which includes the areas of sustainability communication, business and technology. Compared to other university courses, we deliberately build on a wide range of prior knowledge in order to offer our students a comprehensive education. The possibility of individual specialization through elective subjects and the flexible design of classroom teaching enable students to adapt their studies to their personal interests and professional goals. In addition, a work-life-study balance is supported by strongly blocked attendance teaching units and a high proportion of self-learning, which enables students to successfully reconcile their studies with other commitments.
Can I work while studying?
Yes, this is possible, but not a mandatory requirement. Our Master's program is not designed as a dual study program. You have the freedom to work during your studies or not. Many of our students use the Master's program to reorient themselves professionally or to re-enter working life after maternity or parental leave. However, we recommend limiting working hours to a maximum of 30 hours per week in order to avoid overworking and to be able to devote sufficient time to your studies. If the workplace is flexible enough and the company provides support, it is possible to successfully manage the study load.
